This is IMPORTANT and TRIVIAL to computer scientists but you cannot even comment on it in 10 years!
Maybe not WINZIP.
Assume an ENCRYPTION SYSTEM EXISTS that compresses SETS.
S-COMPRESS( <1,4,6,3,9,10,22,53> )= 3434
S-UNCOMPRESS(3434) = <10,22,53,9,1,4,3,6>
There is MORE ROOM FOR COMPRESSION if you don't have to worry about the order of the elements!
