Some may also find it misleading, since it implies that the UTI can be set
on a per-file basis, independent of type code and extension. This is false.
As a result, most of their conclusions are incorrect as well. If you can't
set the UTI differently on two files with the same type code and extension,
it can't serve as a creator code.
Incidentally, this is not a complaint against UTIs; they are very useful.
They're just not meant to solve the creator code problem.
