Nope, you're squirming again: "The training still makes reference to FD moving "apps and documents" between SSD and HDD, though testing has shown this isn't quite true. FD operates below the files, actually moving Core Storage blocks (which seem to be referred to internally as "chunks," as we'll see). Apple's presentation of the technology as moving "apps and documents" makes perfect sense, though: apps and documents are easy to explain in a quick launch presentation, while an actual discussion of files versus file system clusters versus Core Storage blocks versus disk blocks would be difficult to cram into a single slide." Nowhere does Apple state Fusion Drives are "file based" and not block (chunk) based. And Apple's own tools and tool documentation talks about chunks specifically.
