With just the words "zero" and "one" strung together in some combination, we can describe a JPEG image, which can be a picture of anything. (For instance, a black and white scan of the word "deoxyribonucleic" in a Times Roman font).
But we're not really talking about the description of a picture, we're in fact talking about political discourse.
Now, do you want me to recite a bunch of ones and zeros? Or would you rather I say, "It's a picture of a white cliff on the shore of the sea, possibly in the south of England; in the foreground there's a person's silhouette, too small to pick out their gender..."?
If, as you say, you could argue that the ones and zeros makes for a more precise description, then obviously you would prefer that option, yes?
You're right, you can be more precise that way, but precise text means nothing if nobody is reading it.
