Not true. With three channels of 8 bits, that's roughly equal to 9.5 bits,
because the maximum value you can get by adding three 255's together is 765,
which takes about 9.5 bits to represent.
Not true either. The numbers multiply, they don't add. 256 x 256 x 256 gives 
us 24 bits or 16.7+ million different values. Each bit double the numbers and 
can represent 1 stop.
