It is non-intuitive for that date field to be part of the metadata (I know it is) the published date or created date are intuitive concepts but this is just some random date that doesn't seem tied to anything. I too thought that date column meant date added to the library, but every now and then it has a mind all it's own (because the date was set previously by another and entered in metadata).
