If you bet an extra $0.16 purely for information you have to believe the information is worth $0.16. That means it must be clear and accurate enough to save you $0.16 when you are behind, or to earn you $0.16 more when you are ahead or blah blah blah. In this spot you are bloating the pot in a spot where you clearly still dont know where you stand. In effect I could say "Ill tell you what hand he has if you give me $0.16". Then after you pay me Ive said "well he might have a Q, or he might have JJ, or he might just think youre full of shit, and by the way we're now playing for bigger money".

Information is a good side effect of a bet, but its rarely worth making an otherwise -EV raise just for information especially since the information you get is usually pretty murky.
