Yeah I understood that immediately after I read it, but it's not how typical optical discs work, and I'd just assumed they work the same way until now. Hadn't really thought about it before.
What I find a bit bizarre though that some defragmenters have an option to move files to the end of the drive. Wouldn't you want to move files to the beginning in that case?
