Out of curiosity, are you a native English speaker?

What exactly do you mean by "single memory vector"? Those are all
valid words individually, but put them together into a phrase and you
get meaningless jargon. Are you talking about an undetermined length
of contiguous bytes stored in memory? Possibly an array to use
terminology from many programming languages and a well known term?

For those who insist Jules doesn't know what he's talking about, I
offer the above as counterpoint.

You find this question surprising?

Let me get this straight. Here you say no I can't reverse the process.

And here you say you can "decompress" stuff stored in memory.

Where exactly does the "single memory vector" exist?

If the betting windows are open, I'd like to put buttloads on 
"nobody knows what you are talking about"

So you've repeated; very, very often. Do you still claim this doesn't
violate the counting argument?

If I give you a single file of bytes, how many different files will
your program generate?
