Yes, exactly like 640K sounds like a power of two, if you're a MS-DOS user.
But in a way, this is right since:
<no of bits>
2 = <no of states>
When the number of bits is 0, 2^0 = 1: 1 state. A state machine with one state is certainly possible.
Problem is we need 2 or more states to do anything useful with state. We can draw an initial state bubble in a state diagram and not add any states; it can even have transitions back to itself.
So maybe monostate is not exactly a misnomer; it's just weird to mention state about something that is not useful for working with state.
