The problem I've found with file names like those described as "awesome" in the fifth slide is that if you have a bunch of them open at once, your taskbar/switcher/windows menu truncates them all to something like "2013-06-26_BRAFWTNEG...", making finding the one you want a bit more burdensome.
Jakob Nielsen had a post (a link for which I cannot find) recommending that web-page titles put the most specific information at the beginning. Doing something similar with file names (e.g., calling them "H01_MutantFraction...2013-06-26.csv", etc) would trade some of the advantages of the proposed scheme for speed of finding and switching between files when you're actually using them.
