The extension does not determine the file type directly.  

PDF 's **ARE** PostScript files - they are just in PDF format, but whatever
way you look at it they are PostScript files...

That isn't quite true.  PostScript files have a .PS extention and require
some processing through Acrobat Distiller to turn them into a .PDF file.
Illustrators native file format is .AI which is a variation of the "Adobe
Encapsulated PostScript" or .EPS file format.
