Here's something that Enoch could say about binary and other symbolic systems:
"Probes use a binary system for all information. Humans use many different kinds systems, but for counting usually they use a system with ten digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. For writing many humans use the symbols and language that you and I have been using. How did you learn this language and system of symbols?"
That's a lot to write. Any suggestions for shortening it? Anything else we should ask?
