But consider that in OOK Morse, the characters for example are
A 10111000
B 111010101000
C 11101011101000
In each case, the last 3 zeroes (or should it be 5 zeroes?) are the
intercharacter space. Perfectly digital, so long as you can accept that
not all characters are the same digital length.

You're making a fundamental mistake. You are assigning numbers to
something which does not inherently have any numeric content, and then
calling the *original* thing digital.
Look at it this way: Is the music from a violin digital? No, of course
not. Is the recording of a violin on a CD digital? Yes, of course.
Does that make a violin a digital instrument? If you can figure out the
rationale behind the question, you will then be able to discern what
really is digital and what really is not. Otherwise, just go on calling
all binary things digital and we'll do our best to ignore the error.
