How often do you see an MP3 file with a WAV header that has WAV extension
instead of MP3?

I haven't ever seen an AVI file that wouldn't contain video.

Why did extension OGM become popular for Ogg files that contain video?
Because it's much easier to just look at the file name and know "this
contains video". Or, if you list files in a graphical file manager, it's
faster to just look at the icon to tell what kind of file it is. And guess
what's the fastest way to assign a file type icon to a file?
