No half-written byte? Of course there are. All the time. There are incorrect
words. Checksum errors. Bytes that arrive too late. A 30cm trace on a printed
circuit board translates to a nanosecond of transit time, and at GB speeds
this is meaningful.


Everything you are describing is analog. In digital systems that use binary
numbers (the majority of electronic systems), everything is either one or
zero. There is no half-one/half-zero. There are no intermediate values. That
is the nature of digital systems.


It all went right over the top of you head, didn't it?

Your knowledge of things digital is just as superficial as everything else
you claim to know about.
