DEVIOUS robots in most instances don't even bother with robots.txt. However, there is no need to take a chance on pointing devious bots to either folders or files of which your websites or any other websites DO NOT have links pointing to.

And FWIW, I have on occasion seen entries in my server log indicative of real humans viewing my robots.txt files and then deliverately checking out the "disallowed" directories.
