I have a file on my Desktop named 11/22/63.

I suspect that that's not how that file is seen by the system.

It is. the Mac has always allowed /'s in filenames. The only forbidden
character in macOS is the ':' character.


Wrong

In what way is that wrong?

That the Mac has always allowed "/" as a filename character.

At least since 1986.

1984.

It is forbidden as that in the unix layer. And actually, you can't
create a file with a "/" as part of the name

You are, of course as everyone who has ever used a Mac know, entirely
100% wrong.

yep.

Seems to me there's some ambiguity (polite phrase) about "filename".

This is not relevant to the path separator which has always been : on
the Mac and has never ever been / as the ignoramus keeps insisting.
