    I understand your points, I think the Microsoft consultant was just suggesting I should seriously look at the fields in questions because there is no doubt for room for improvement (might not be as significant as DMV suggests). I have never created indexes out blank from there; but it gives a "starting" point.

    Agreed. I just see too many people suggesting to generate create index statements from the missing index DMVs and simply run them.
