- mcv 6y agoWe're not actually losing anything here, though. The original still exists.
- eru 6y agoThat would be true, if people were perfect absorbers of information. But they aren't. So, leaving aside that the original is still, an interpretation technique might strictly lose a bit here or there, but it might actually result in many more bits delivered to the end user.
