I understand.
The fragmentation of files situation doesn't go away, it ceases to exist 
in the form of "a problem," because it never causes any performance hit.
Good way to look at it, if that's strictly true.
In other words, if it's not causing a deterioration of performance, it 
can be ignored and doesn't need to be "fixed."
