You haven't actually read and understood the document have you?

In my post, I was showing specifically how the document disproves your
claim. The 8 bit input values can take on 256 values. There are
additional codes for "special control characters" this means more than a
total of 256 values can be taken on by the 10 bit byte. Since the
Log2(256+N) is greater than 8 if N is positive you have lost the argument.
That is all there is to it.

I'll leave my text here so you can read it again.
