But .txt is not the same as .rs; yet .txt is not the same as .docx, although both of these files look the same to the human eye.

    I’d venture to say there is one data type, a record. At its more basic level every filesystem is a database, every file stored on the drive is a record in the database.

    I’m with you though, docx is not a text file… Much more like an xml file.
