But valid. :-)

You can easily have filenames with "false positives" (read:
homographs) using UTF-8, where a dot isn't a dot, a space
isn't a space, a hyphen isn't a hyphen, where invisible
characters are included at arbitrary places, and then make
the whole thing look innocent, like "Alice & Bob @ the beach
in summer [2020], good weather (1).xls.jpg.exe". ;-)

And as you know, stupid people tend to actually _do_ stupid
things, especially when they have access to a computer. :-)
