It had too much baggage and needed to decompress.
(But seriously, Huffman coding its feelings one bit at a time...)
You now know more about FA-CVM, cardinality estimation, expander graphs, and why XML heads fail than you probably ever wanted to.
If you have questions, want to contribute, or just want to argue about whether entropy coding should use graphs instead of intervals... I'm always happy to talk compression!

it's about understanding the structure of information itself."

May your entropy be low and your ratios be high
