I believe it might be possible to submit a "classification request" if there is any uncertainty. Note however that if your goal is simply to mess with someone, they might well respond in kind.
I use long bit-strings all the time for lots of things, including to represent sets.
Long bit-strings are also useful for data "striping" (think RAID), in order to achieve redundancy and resilience to errors and HW/SW failures.
I have no intention of "messing with someone".
