    Brilliant new compression scheme:

    By treating binary zeroes as the absence of data, we can eliminate those zeroes, thereby compressing the sequence "01101100" to "1111".

    We can then count the number of ones that remain, express that number in binary, and repeat the elimination of the unnecessary zeroes.

    Eventually, any data can be compressed to a single bit.
