> Most new students don't understand filesystems. That's not because the file/folder analogies are wrong or outdated, but because they don't use filesystems directly. My point is that it doesn't matter whether these concepts are used in the real world or not; they're just names. People don't understand the difference between the internet and the web, or why the program they use to access a web site is called a "browser", or even what a web "site" is, etc. Sometimes it's not possible to describe a digital concept using analogous terms from the real world, and that's OK. What's wrong is dismissing a technology based on the terms it uses, as TFA does.
