Reminds me of the legendary Bomarc (anti-aircraft missile with nuclear warhead) site check where they simulated losing both communication lines at the same time. Random static noise over the dead lines replicated the binary code to order “open bay doors and raise launcher”. Luckily the “fire missile” command was a much more complex pattern of ones and zeroes to be randomly replicated by static. But ones and zeroes can matter.

If I get really bored I might try translating that binary code to ASCII or EBCDIC.
Calm down, it’s only ones and zeroes. Calm down it’s only bits and bytes.
