Point taken, although Base64 feels "easy", the guy's "About Me" says he's in uni doing computer science, IMO he should've learnt a bit of history of how some systems were only ASCII-compatible and mangled the 8th bit, etc. But "shoulds" are subjective, obviously.
True about ignorance, if you asked me, I don't know how GZIP works (I skimmed through the explanation, it looked hard, I didn't bother with it further), although recently I learned how the JPEG compression works (with discrete cosine transformations), and yeah, to agree with you, that's more than 2 decades after I started tinkering with computers.
