Ha! It's cool you used the phrase "a set of files". What does "file" mean? I mean, hell, we can't really even well-define "set". The other day, some internet person was complaining that they wanted to leave Twitter now that Elno's taken it to hell. But they needed a Delete. I took the liberty of explaining that you can only delete things if there's only 1 of that thing. Any distributed implementation, at best, makes deletion difficult or, at worst, impossible. My example was a journaling file system, a boon for irresponsible "rm -rf *" people and data forensics, but a bane for Elno-types. We're so lost in metaphor, we can't even see our hand in front of our face.

I read that Bing won’t write a cover letter if asked. I love the idea of a set of files sitting on a filesystem at Microsoft that represent human ethics. It reminds me of people that complain about being characterized by their skill sets. I think we are going to learn just how little we are.
