Some people over-compress, though, until the point where the data becomes corrupt and the antivirus (our social attention span) quarantines it as a mild threat.
Reminds me of Scott Aaronson's Umeshisms[0]/Malthusianisms[1]. If you don't sometimes over-compress it means you're compressing too little and there's room for improving efficiency.
Also,
"Why do native speakers of the language you’re studying talk too fast for you to understand them? Because otherwise, they could talk faster and still understand each other."
