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.." :)
We have rm -rf to protect us from doing things to directories (IE: rm /poop).
We need tail -argument to protect us from doing things to directories.
