Wrong.
You can only see a very tiny sub-section of the Kindle's file system.

MacOs and Linux share a common heritage - -
Go into your "Terminal" application on your Mac and list all of the directories at the "root" (/) of the file system.
Those are reserved names and are (almost) always present on any system that shares the Unix heritage.

Now plug in the USB cable from your Kindle and examine the highest directory level you can see over that USB cable.
How many of those reserved names can you see?
One, maybe two?
Do you really think you can see everything?
