an interesting idea. i am not so sure that meta descriptions can't hurt. dupes get flagged in wmt - we know that it is a metric - albeit not a strong signal or component of the algo. large database driven sites are going to autogenerate meta descriptions and this is where the harm may come - no doubt google can identify this and they may conclude that this is low value auto-generated stuff that they don't have an appetite for - with variations of the oop lurking out there, this may be a risk not worth taking...
