I am in favor of hiding file pages from search engine crawlers, but not redirecting anonymous users to articles. And while it's true  are merely requests, Google honors them if put in a   tag. And before anyone gives the cynical "as far as we know" response, Google open-sourced this part of their software and it's easily verifiable (see above link).
