IMHO, there is only analog pretending to be digital.

Bucky did some research on microscopic bubbles and found out that the circumference of a microscopic bubble is actually a series of straight lines.

Sorta sounds like digital pretending to be analog. ;>)

Rather like the old attempts to solve for Pi. Given that bubbles are made of atoms and molecules, any attempt to define it would have to appear as a series of lines connecting the probability centers of the atoms and molecules. That, however, doesn't prove the point in the article. The article assumes that 1) there are minimum increments to everything, and 2) that a point where you can get an agreement between digital models and analogish symbolism is the proper place to stop enlarging. The latter seems much like an argument Dr. Sowell makes in pointing out statistical analysis flaws.
