I think the first four columns should at least be briefly mentioned and described in the roughest of terms. The question of what information they represent will inevitably arise for people that are unfamiliar with this command.

I see in the instructor's notes that teaching permissions is completely and intentionally elided in the Unix Shell lesson plan, so I don't think this request is going to get traction, much as I agree with you.

This seems like a bigger issue that I'm having with some of the carpentries lessons. IMHO, leaving out permissions and stating that learners can just look it up online is setting them up to fail.
