Compressed files, as in ZIP, FLAC, etc do not involve any data reduction

I will still use 'data reduction' to describe them, because too many idiots out there
assume that doing so equates to reducing the dynamics of the audio.

Ninety-percent of the general public - my audience - think that MP3 and other lossy
formats reduce dynamic range and contributed to the current loudness war. That's
what I'm trying to untrain.
