Precisely why I name all Oracle files with ".dbf" extension. Who ever thought naming a redo log with ".log" was a good idea??? With all DB files the same, it's a simple rule: Don't touch .dbf files. No confusion there. If you need to mess with them (backups, etc), write and test a script. Try to prevent yourself from making a mistake.
