There are several good points in this thread, and this is one.
People usually underestimate how significant a change you need to a text in order to appreciably change the character-level entropy values.

Another good point. Entropy (contrary to age) is just a number. There is a whole frequency distribution of fractions adding up to one behind it. There are infinitely many very different distrubutions with the same entropy.
