This is exactly the kind of absolute stupidity that I feared when Apple

It's less retarded than the "we're going to store important data
(including the actual content of the file in some cases) in one hidden
file AND store important metadata in another hidden file" policy
they're moving (too slowly) away from. The retarded part, of course is
to treat ANY metadata as more than hints. It should at the most be
index and commentary, or a cache for information a program can AND DOES
routinely extract from the file content and the user's actions.
