Research is needed by you...

You need to get your facts straight before you tell someone they are wrong - Time and time again.

Fact:

In Mac OS X a window has what's called a content view which is the view that makes up the entire visible content under the title bar. The window owns, or is parent to, the content view which contains all the text boxes, labels, buttons, images, etc.

A window is _not_ some sort of port-hole into another world where all the views live like you imply. Stating that a window is a view into the context of a directory is nonsense. Graphical widget it may be, but certainly not a view into a directory.

Therefore, the original hint is worded wrong - It may appear correctly worded to those who have less knowledge about how the operating system and it's components actually work.

A person who _claims_ to be GUI programmer would/should know this. Obviously not.
