Why should I ignore the only tag that DT actually takes into account ?

As this is the one DT reads to display the information, why would I have to let 
it wrong when I could modify it and have DT display the correct value ?

I know it is possible to specify an offset value from within DT, but this will 
be lost as soon as the database is reset and/or the sidecar is erased.

How will I remember, say, 6 months later, that some peculiar photos were shot 
with wrong date / time value ?
Well, you won't, you use a computer to do that for you.

Long ago, I found out that it is much more efficient to have the exif time stamp as filename, as it will not chance no matter which program you use to work on a picture. It also has the advantage that when you take pictures with different cameras at the same location you get easily just from the file name the chronological order.

So, after I have corrected (if necessary) exif "DATe and Time original" I have renamed all pictures using the exif information to yyyymmdd_HHMMSS_plus_whatever.xyz
