If a .zip file contains all of the information of the original, just in less space, why does it have to be unzipped to access any of it?

The best analogy i have to zipping is Stenography; Writing in short hand.

“cnyugtsttma5” is not english. But it can be transformed to English if you know the code used to write it

“cnyugtsttma5” > “cn yu gt st tm a5” > “can you go to the store tomorrow at 5pm”

“cnyugtsttma5” is the zipped message, “can you go to the store tomorrow at 5pm” is unzipped
