And if you want to see how the file system isn't "array of bytes" files, 
look at the different files in
singularity-6709\base\Contracts\Io.Contracts
which specify the types and state machines you can pass around. Note 
that (for example) the Video Device contract isn't anything like an 
array of bytes.  (Of course, the compiler stores the records in arrays 
of bytes in memory, but that's invisible to the programmers.)

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
