    We need to be able to express 0 and 1 as integers so that functionality is just being overloaded to express another concept.

    Wait until the person who made this meme finds out about how many bits are being wasted on modern CPU architectures. 7 is the minimum possible wasted bits but it would be 31 on every modern computer (even 64b machines since they default to 32b ints).
