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.
