Nope, I didn't. Your first sentence says:

>but this is triggering one of my pet peeves about common misunderstandings of Morse code.

and my post is about how there is no misunderstanding.



There is a misunderstanding because anyone who properly understood Morse code would never represent it in this manner where it's indistinguishable from a large number of other possible strings.


There is no misunderstanding because it was never the intention to use the bitstring to represent a unique word in Morse code in the first place. Instead, Morse code was merely used as a convenient method to devise a bitstring from a relevant word.
