   Yep.

   But I *just may not WANT to*  :-)

   Files DO have a hidden advantage - many largely
   dis-related programs can ACCESS them. This can
   give you stats, insight, 'intelligence'. Pipes
   are basically restricted to the original parent
   and children. Good reasons for that, sometimes,
   but not *always*.
