Because it could be contained (not extracted) within an archive, or on a remote server. I must say that I don't think that the classes File and Directory have a very clear idea of what they *are*, though. To take some examples, it seems clear to me that Directory class >> #working should return a Directory and not a String, and that Directory >> contents should return a collection of Files. Unfortunately, in the latter case it becomes difficult to pick out '.' and '..' (since you usually want to ignore them).
