Yes, "guessing" ("mime magic") is unreliable, but it's still very useful in many cases. The solution is not to disable guessing, but to
1) improve the guessing
2) use extensions where guessing can't do it right

After updating to KDE4 (the mime implementation is completely different, it's now based on freedesktop.org shared-mime-info), please report any wrong "mimetype guessing" with example files.
