It might be, depending on what you were feeding it to.  I think the
point people are making is that directory data is, in certain cases,
also potentially useful for something they might conceivably want to
do, and if you yourself don't want to look at it then you shouldn't
ask the system to show it to you.  "Doctor, it hurts when I poke
myself in the eye.." :)
