No, that is what it would be if we were using traditional, deterministic compression and using a reversible and verifiable mapping of data. But this is the new era of memetic compression, "Pied Piper" is what everyone remembers from the show, so we compress it to "Pied Piper" to minimize the amount of memetic overhead and allow the smallest possible compression artifact. Like with "AI", it doesn't need to be correct, just close enough for people to think it is! /s
