Naturally, that one parameter has to be very precise in order to work—if you have 1000 bits of data, the parameter will take at least 1000 bits to write down.
Pretty cool scheme for fitting general scatterplots. You could do the same in higher dimensions, but intuitively it seems like you are actually anti-compressing the data. Their point about not measuring complexity by parameter count is made.
