Well in my case it actually is important knowledge... say when i switch from a 70-200 to a fast 50 during an event, I will need to make a correction to my exposure settings (as I prefer shooting manual mode), yes the metering info in the viewfinder will tell me the same thing, but knowing that I can drop the ISO half a stop when shifting to a fast prime and keep my other exposure settings unchanged actually is important at times.
I have not made a solid measurement of it, it is just something I have noticed while working and made a mental note of...
I am not sure I can follow all of what you write here... stuff like using to bash camera brands etc... why would anyone do that... I do not think I did that in my post above at least...
Not sure I got the link to multisegment metering either...
I guess it all depends on how you work, to me kknowing what I talked about in my first post is important for the way I work when shooting events.
I see knowing as much as possible about the gear one uses as important, it allows you to react to certain cituations by reflex and allows me to dedicate my mind to my surroundings.

I think you are spot on here.
As I always shoots in manual mode, I see these differences between lenses all the time.
In general my primes has around half a T-stop difference to my fast zooms.
