One might point that out, but then one would have to state the basis of that comparison. If you base this on the number of digits, this is undoubtedly true - a deciaml digit can carry much more information than a binary digit. If you base it on the information that you can, for example, store in a 64-bit word, then your claim needs some more explanation.
