Say, isn't binary base 2 digital?

__________________________________________________ _________

Binary arithmetic is base 2 digital, but not everything binary is
arithmetic. You've probably heard of binary nerve gas. Is that
digital? The word "binary" just means having two possible states.
Those two states may or may not represent numeric values.

Not everything binary is digital and not everything digital is binary.
