I struggling to understand the concept of a decentralized identity. You are basically exposing the concept of identity to partitioning problems, at that point. Right?

That is, I don't disagree with the idea that the system we have now ties you to a company. But indirection and decentralization only works to a point. As an example, how do you manage disputes of your identity? Assume whatever system you have can be spoofed successfully somehow. What is the procedure to clarify the factually intended identity of someone?
