The great thing about it is there is no limit to how many times you can
compress it. That's what makes it better than the competition.


If that were true then you could losslessly compress any file down to just 1 bit, by repeatedly running your algorithm. That is clearly impossible. Therefore your claim (as stated) simply cannot be true.

Your logic is impeccable. Your joke detector might need tuning.
