You need "execute" (access) permission on a directory to do anything
with the contents of the directory. Without "execute" permission
on the directory, you can't cd into the directory and can't access or
stat anything in the directory (though read permission on the directory
will allow the names of the files (of any type) in the directory
itself to be determined).
