It actually raises an interesting point. Given certain URL structures, SE's
can not only predict if pages will get generated on-the-fly, but also how
they get generated. For example, it should not be hard to spot a blog and
tell it apart from a commercial CMS, a free (Open Source) CMS and a DIY
CMS. It can give the SE some indication of reliability of information
within.
To elaborate on that point, the 'generator' metadata, much like user-agent
in browsers and mail client can become a nuisance and a source for
discrimination:

You should not forget about tools that link pages off-line rather than
on-line (AKA on-the-fly or 'real time').
