That's what the windows paradigm does to computer users. Files are
placed into virtual directories like 'my this' and 'my that', so people
haven't got a clue where they really are located on their hard drives
(and how can they be expected to back anything up when they can't even
find it?). When you ask them, they say it's in itunes or it's in the
media player, as if the file were inside the program somewhere ;-)
No-one denies that, but this is real life. If you want to help and educate
people you don't do it by giving them something so blank that they haven't a
clue where to start.
