Definitely BS - the description meta is definitely used by Google as well as the title meta - and quite a bit
And just as important - think about what happens when you do get that #3 listing on Google - wouldnt you like that title and description to really draw surfers into your site - if you write them well - you can outperform the #1 spot easily - and google does use the title and desc in its listings as well as during its ranking
Second - the meta tags for how the SE bots react to a page are important so they should be in there as well
Last - Yahoo and MSN DO USE the keyword meta as well as the title and description tags - so definitely always use them as Dave posted
and the other part he was trying to convey I believe is that html pages should always have the tags to validate correctly - which is also a part of all SE's algorithms
