Are you kidding? Bits are like fleas, only smaller. Ever tried to herd a
bunch of fleas along a little pathway? It's almost impossible to keep
them together. One of them smells a dog half a mile a way, and he's
gone. Bits are the same way. They'll follow some cute electron out the
tiniest little door, and bam! you lost 1/200 of a second of data.
They're not well behaved at all.
