   So when are you going to start complaining about Unix not giving you the   
   full content of the allocated blocks for a file, but only up to the   
   point where the logical eof points to?   
   At the bottom side, disks are still dealt with in blocks, even under   
   Unix. The whole idea of a file being of a certain number of bytes   
   basically just hides from you that there are actually more bytes   
   allocated to that file.
