Zeros are round like the wire so they can stack nicely.
Ones need to be put through the wire length-wise meaning they take up more space.
Is that what happens in network congestion: a 1 bit gets in the wire sideways and takes a while to dislodge?
Yes. When that happens a network engineer has to blow through the cable, that's why it causes lag
Finally, an answer that makes sense.
And since they are round-ish it does not matter so much which way is up when you stack them. A computer will always recognize them as zeros.
A one has to be somewhat close to the right way up (or upside down works too).
