In addition, even if a normal number was used, it's far simpler to describe the data by just using a single number alone. For example, a binary encoding of the data (perhaps using a prefix-free code). Using a normal number and two "positions" is just more complicated.
Nonetheless, it's freaky that our deepest secrets are encoded into pi. If pi is normal.
Also, there will be multiple copies of data, some uncompressed, some compressed in different formats like gzip, lzo, etc.
And each copy will occur infinitely often.
And man there is a hell of a lot of fake news in there.
