A fact cannot only be a fact in hindsight. If one only recognizes the fact upon reflection, it, nevertheless, was still the same fact at the moment.
Virtually (no pun intended) everything can be converted to a binary expression or a series of binary expressions. That which currently defies the process as practiced by mankind is simply buying time.
That we have trouble perceiving a binary existence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
