I'm not sure that snark conveys no information whatsoever, but I think the thing about snark is it is primarily for communicating with those who already agree with you -- it is of no value in disputing with your opponent, but that isn't what it is for. Which is, I think, why snark is often removed to a separate channel of communication (ie many communities have a snark shadow community).
