what would be interesting about these images if you had the computing
technology to do it, is that lossy distortion would be once only. if
you decompress a lossy image then compress it again you get the exact
image (given that image is a good local minimum of the program sizes to
represent it).

compare this to jpg, they are terrible to work with, every time you
open the image, do a change and save it as jpg the distortion builds up
and up. an analogy to digital copies vs analog, once you accept the
distortion / approximation of the digitizing process the image will
never distort again.
