Exactly!

Also exactly right. When I do run my fingers inside the tire, I do it 
with care. A shard of glass stuck in the tire and protruding inside can 
cut your finger.

Usually the object causing the puncture is gone, leaving only the hole 
as evidence it existed. In fixing hundreds of flats over the years, any 
objects still present have all been lodged in the tire. I don't recall 
ever seeing anything stuck in the tube.
