To use the term "compression" you must be able to decompress,
otherwise you are simply shrinking data into a small mess. As long as
you never decompress you can easily shrink any file into 1 bit in a
single pass.

You have repeatedly refused to make any real effort to understand
any position other than your own. The above statement is a point of
evidence. To be very clear, the number of steps in your process is in
no way relevant to the validity of your claims.

THIS is your repeated bogus claim, and your idea of preprocessing the
data has been considered and studied thoroughly by some pretty smart
people.

The problem, your claim, is not "difficult" it is one of those natural
laws. The problem seems to be that while nobody violates these laws
they are apparently beyond the grasp of some people. People who fail
to understand frequently find apparent loopholes to get around the
problem only to discover when the rubber hits the road that their
loophole is in fact a pothole.

Your claim is real, there is no evidence the program is real and you
have yet to actually claim you can reverse the process.

I'm afraid the bad news isn't really that limited.

Strange you seem to define refusal as interference. You came and made
the same claims as before and got the same response, to expect
otherwise is at best unwise.
