That's not exactly true Chris. For situations where the error rate is less than
220 bits per second (I think) the original signal can be reconstructed with 100%
accuracy, because the error correction system is designed in such a way as to be
able to do that. If the error rate becomes significantly high enough, then what
you saying would apply.
