Comment on Why can't code be uncompiled?

Thank you, sorry to push further but my understanding is that computers deal with binary so every language is compiled to machine code, which I took as binary.

So if the language has elements being removed and the machine doesn’t need them shouldn’t you get back out exactly what is needed to do the task? Like if you compiled some code and then uncompiled it you would get the most efficient version of it because the computer took what it needed, discarded the rest and gave it back to you?
