wrong. binary would be the opposite of text.
Now I'm becoming convinced you are trying to infuriate me. That "9P is
actually binary" is a _fact_, which you presented to me, thank you, okay?
But, the _idea_, which existed in the posting you had quoted, remained and
remains the same nonetheless. The idea in question is not the fact you
mentioned, neither vice versa.
thus, if you're following along, your statement did not inform.
I believe I explained in what way it _did_ inform _a lot_. Are you
asserting there's something wrong with the explanation? Did you read the
explanation at all?

In what way is an informative statement a tautology?
thus, if you're following along, your statement did not inform.
