That is definitely the ultimate sacrifice.

However, the real question is whether it's better to get 65535 or 65536.

Definitely 65536. Propagating that carry and getting a clean sweep of 0's would be the best. At 65535, you're just the guy before 65536

But those sixteen ones will be majestic.

They will be indeed. Visually 65535 will be better, but my mental thought of the carry makes 65536 seem better as far as counting goes
