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.
