Indeed. I don't believe there is a such thing as signal with zero noise.
I really like this analogy. Usually when I make analogies to "signal-noise ratio", I'm thinking of comprehensibility (or lack thereof). But that usually only applies to one speaker/author/whatever. Your analogy is referring to something that's abstracted over individuals, something that's closer to how political ideas spread.
