Recurrent games in game theory require the reliable identification of the players. The social order is just a tangle of these games played with variation.

If you remove reliable identification as a feature you will push the equilibrium to some other state. Are you sure you want to live in that state?

You are replying to the article to which I agree with you. But I was replying to the comment which suggests as significant reduction in one persons ability to identify another.
