Is SMART really that dumb?

So, SMART reports it has N pending sectors. This must mean
it knows exactly which sectors those are, but nothing in
the SMART interface is willing to tell you what sectors it
is talking about?

You could maybe correlate them with the filesystem
structures and find out what files they might be
affecting (or if they are just in free space),
but that's not useful information for SMART to report?

Please tell me I'm the one who is an idiot and I've
just overlooked the obvious here :-).
