Think of it this way. For a file, the attributes effect the data inside the
file. For a directory, it effects the file listing (the directory's data). A
directory is read-only, so you can't modify the file listing.. you can't
change the attributes of files or folders in it, and you can't change the
list of files and folders in it (add to or remove from it). If a specific
file or directory in that directory is marked writeable, then you can change
the data *in that file or directory*.
