Never took the cap off a can that has had gas in it and taken a sniff? Technically you are correct, in practice the can was empty.
Usually a small amount in the bottom as it is difficult to get a clean bottom in a dirt hole.

Per DerbyDad03:
If there's dirt in it, it wouldn't be a hole - right?
Please don't answer a question with a question.
Technically is all that really counts.
Any dirt at the bottom is part of the "container" not part of the hole.
You could fill the hole with dirt. Then there'd be dirt in that hole.
The fill dirt comes from a new hole of the same size and shape. Is it really a new hole or did the old hole just move? What's the difference between moving holes and moving dirt?
