For us neophytes that information is actually instructive: I look at an image, mostly I remember what I was trying to achieve. How did I shoot this? Hmmm, interesting choice but I might have gotten a better result shooting wider, or faster, or at a different ISO. There are lots of variables in photography. Not all of us are adept at getting them right. I don't think having that available is harmful or useless. I find it invaluable. I've found a somewhat snotty vibe to the responses to this post mostly because Nathan's original post was a bit edgy and judgmental since he dissed the entire idea of metadata from the git-go. Metadata are a tool, just as the captured image is a tool, to making a better image the next time. That's the important part.
