We domainers can think and know anything we want about .info.

That's not the point.

To someone who isn't involved with domains, such as a big company who wants to purchase a domain name for their site, they're going to want a .com and they won't see the value or purpose in a .info. In fact, most Internet users have probably never heard of a .info, much less visited one. You've got to look at it from their perspective.
