     To be precise, he (John Kerr-Mudd) probably didn't *add* icons, but   
   *replaced* whatever icon there were with more appropriate ones [1].   
      
     Anyway, if you're objecting to Ken's "*pointers* to a file", that's a   
   more correct description of a shortcut than your "Shortcuts are icons,   
   plus a name.".   
      
   [1] AFAIK, it's not possible to create a shortcut which does not have an   
   icon associated with it. I.e. you can change the icon, but not add (or   
   delete) it.
