Wrong? I guest you don't understand.

Yes Base32 use 5 bits, but when it encode
11111111 (255) it does not scrapt the remaining 3 bits,
like i previously explain it only change how they are send.

In this case 255 would be send with 00011111 then 00000111.

So sending Byte 32 and Byte 8 in BASE32 is the same as sending Byte 255 in Base255 But the result is the same the value is 255.

Changing the Base DOES NOT CHANGE THE VALUE, it change how it's display. Otherwise it's not a base change it's a value change.
