Agreed. It's also a technique that's been exploited by people wanting to distribute malicious files - simply give an executable a name like somedocument.docx.exe and, when the user thinking it's a document double-clicks to open it, it executes. Especially dangerous for those users who have Windows configured (as per the default) not to show the extensions of known file types.
