hey guys, its not quite obvious, but the point he was trying to get across is true. you CAN represent data as anything (in his case, representing the numbers that describe that zip as text characters) in a sense that- well, data stored on a computer is literally just numbers fundamentally and since theres a mysterious zip file inside the addons folder (where text is commonly found throughout in there) saying "open it in notepad" is a completely logical suggestion. personally i'd take a hex editor but whatever.
The reason why everyone has jumped on him is probably because he didn't word it so fluently (no offense) so it'd require at least 9th grade english class to- you know- think outside the box a little and try and comprehend what he's attempting to get across. "everything in computing is text" is a bold statement however you should be able to get "data stored on a computer is TECHNICALLY text considering you can represent it as text without any loss." and deduct that his statement isn't literally what it means. Sorry for those who operate on lower frequencies.
