excellent point! at the time I was thinking about fixed-width binary specifically and trying to think of interesting uses for it, but that’s a good point.
Fixing it definitely has advantages too. Just off the top of my head: Code length growing linearly with word length is one thing, figuring out what the last letter is (which is important when reading quickly) is another.
