Nonsense - he wouldn’t have multiple patents if the slop you spew was remotely close to the truth.

Patent 5,533,051, issued in 1996, covers a technique that purports to compress any data set by at least one bit without loss of information—a process that, if done recursively, could shrink the Encyclopaedia Britannica to a single word from which the original could be flawlessly reconstructed. The very idea is preposterous. Yet the patent office agonized for three years over the application—and in the end approved it.
