That is totally missing the point. Of course for every number there is an encoding that contains all pieces of information.

That obviously applies to 0.00... = 0 as well, it contains 0, then 00, then 000 and so on. So every number and therefore every piece of information is contained in 0 as well, given the right encoding. Obviously if you can choose the encoding after choosing the number all number "contain" all information. That is very uninteresting though and totally misses the point.
