it is them who have converted the answer to decimal... 10 + 10 = 100 they said, in binary it is not, it remains 10... you do not convert to decimal to get the answer (4) then convert back to binary... bin ...[text shortened]... .org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system
there's your link by the way

[i]Learn how to read. Then learn how to quote.
You did both wrong.

But seriously ...
Lets call atruce; eatmybishop has obviously been misinformed during his engineer training and been told that Boolean algebra is actually binary.
I hope he accepts the collective wisdom of RHP that binary is base2 and oprates to the same rules as base10, base12 or base 39. You cannot add 10 to 10 in any base and get 10.
SURRENDER eatmybishop ... or else challenge me across the board!

But we know better!
If you go to far you will fall off the edge!

look up wikipedia, binary numeral system... here's a quote...
"Since the binary numeral "10 + 10" is equal to the decimal value four, it would be confusing, and numerically incorrect to class that number as four; it is not, its value remains 10"

Your quote:"Since the binary numeral "10 + 10" is equal to the decimal value four, it would be confusing, and numerically incorrect to class that number as four; it is not, its value remains 10"
Actual quote: "Since the binary numeral "100" is equal to the decimal value four, it would be confusing, and numerically incorrect, to refer to the numeral as "one hundred" so to speak."
Maybe I just missed your quote or you have one word different to the original (I did a search on the article) but the quote I have is the nearest I could find to the one you posted. Basically, the quote informs the reader that he/she should not pronounce binary numbers as though they were decimal numbers, to avoid confusion. This is completely different from what you were suggesting.
