It is? How would he know what's in it, then? I tell you what, I'll put a
file on my web site. I'll bet you $10,000 that Jay won't be able to tell
if it has malicous code in it.

By that metric, Jay's entire web site should be avoided. After all, I doubt
he could tell you whether ANY page on his web site has malicious code in it.
The fact that he originally created the content in no way ensures him that
it's safe.

The point is that the file format is not opaque, and it's trivial to
determine whether it's potentially dangerous or not. Jay's own technical
expertise isn't really the issue.
