"Text Is the Universal Interface"

I've never understood this 'truth'.

How is "Temperature: 45C" somehow easier to parse/process than 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x4D

You still always have to consider the exact structure of the text (<Field> <colon> <space> <value> <unit>) same as any binary format.

In this context, `0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x4D` is still text.
