  A sender with state-independent preferences (i.e., transparent motives)
privately observes a signal about the state of the world before sending a
message to a receiver, who subsequently takes an action. Regardless of whether
the receiver can mediate--and commit to a garbling of the sender's message--or
delegate--commit to a stochastic decision rule as a function of the
message--and understanding the statement ``the receiver is better off as a
result of an improvement of the sender's information'' to mean that her maximal
and minimal equilibrium payoffs (weakly) increase as the sender's signal
improves (in a Blackwell sense), we find that if the sender is more informed,
the receiver is better off.
