Again, what you're talking about is the side channel. Shannon entropy in particular. Of course you can encode information up to the time granularity, but if you're talking about that then you're not talking about the content in transmission anymore--which we are--hence why you and others are confused why we're saying it's still 1 bit.
If you want to get into the topic of Shannon entropy, then that's another conversation.

You're the one who's confused. Show me how you get more than zero bits out of the content in transmission. If you actually try to work this out, you will notice immediately that it can't be done.
- stevenhuang 6y agoYou're indeed right. Log base 2 of 1 is 0. I thought you were continuing OPs line of thought and arguing the message contained even more bits of information.
