Yes we should all try to just get along but we don't have to accept a simplistic statement like this unless we agree that "almost the same amount of time" includes a difference of almost 100%.
The Wiki contributors obviously didn't consider e.g. access of DRAM addresses when the Row address changes between accesses,
During my training period in 1982, my Field Tutor strongly criticized me for paying too much attention to the details instead of focusing on the essentials. It was a valuable lesson that has stayed with me ever since.
Your Field Tutor obviously didn't understand that paying attention to the details are essential when designing electronic circuits and that a silly detail like an access time of 320 ns versus 170 ns would mean the difference between success and failure.
As a zero results in a certain time that no voltage is applied to load a capacitor and a one results in a certain time a voltage is applied, the zeros actually disappear while the ones load it.
If you get a capacitor, let's say that is 50% loaded, how do you reconstruct the sequence of zeros and ones? And the delimiter between bytes ?
Both are obviously of some importance to restore the information ...
