A-ha, I think this is what I was missing. Thank you.
That said -- I would think that a random blob of data sitting around on the hard drive is still highly suspect. Aren't hard drives zeroed from the factory? And wouldn't any true "garbage" data be decidedly not random? (Even if it's compressed... you would still expect to find headers etc. somewhere.)
