I would have said {De' potlh} too, but I don't think there's a significant difference in meaning. I suppose you could argue that information about an important thing might not be important in and of itself, but clearly in this context the information is also important. Maybe it's some kind of idiomatic set phrase.

While look at some canon phrases, I stumbled over a phrase from ST5:
{yo'SeH yaHnIvvo' potlh De' wIHevtaH.}
"We are receiving a priority message from Operations Command."

I would have said {De' potlh} "important data" here.

Is this an error, or is it just not much difference between "important data" and "data about something important"?
