If the binary is truly random, probability for each bit
is 1/2 both both 1 and 0 and one needs in avg 1 bit for encoding one bit.

As result, some of that binary gets longer, and some shorter,
when compressed.

It is proven that there is no lossless compression schema
that would provide smaller results
for all possible inputs,
as there would be possible no mapping
of N input states to N output states.
