Considering one byte looks just as much like any other (with only 256 
variations), how would anything in an OS or language know something is 
encrypted? 

Maybe if the encrypted bit is set in a packet in a data stream, it might 
be possible to tell.  Isn't the encrypted bit the one right after the 
evil bit?
