Quote - " If images are not gamma encoded, they allocate too many bits or too much bandwidth to highlights that humans cannot differentiate, and too few bits/bandwidth to shadow values that humans are sensitive to and would require more bits/bandwidth to maintain the same visual quality."

Normal images have RGB with 8 bits and always use 8 bits, gamma encoding will not make it use 5 bits and without GC it will not be 10 bits. It always are 8 bits and always consume the same bandwidth, no matter if is gamma encoded or not or is black or pink color, always are used 8 bits.

Stupidity also evolves!
