R. Nachmani's calculation treats identity as information.
But identity is not information. It is relationship. Relationship to tradition, to community, to practice, to G-d.
We cannot compress relationship into bits. We can only compress descriptions of relationship.
The 90 bits measure the description, not the thing described. A person's Judaism is not 90 bits. It is infinite. The block is a finite shadow.
