Sorry for the OC. I may have missed something here. I don't see how two checkboxes equal 4 bits of information by default. In this case you can have two checkboxes depending on 1 bit that can represent and/or count 2 values regardless the two checkboxes being complementary or contrary. Four bits can represent up to 16... Are you referencing "bit" for "piece" and also for "binary digit" ? Other ?

Err... my brain was just malfunctioning. I meant to say 1 bit and 2 bits, not 2¹ and 2² bits. :-)
