I stand corrected. No idea what I was reading (several years ago), but whatever it was made it seem way more complicated. Maybe it was just an explanation from somebody who didn't know.

Likely it was being explained in the context of binary number representation as it is primarily important in computer architecture. If you're not already familiar with that then it was probably confusing explained in that context.
