Maybe to some actor that has sufficient data to correlate identities.
But if I introduce myself to someone with an alias or claim false traits,
they will not immediately just know it’s fake unless they have additional contradicting information.
Most people do not casually wear ski masks, but they tend to not lie when asked for a name.
- minsc_and_boo 4y agoWe're talking about fingerprinting here. Even a person wearing a ski mask could give a name, they still stand out because they have a ski mask on. Deviations from the norm make you stand out, even if it's lying.
- SyrupThinker 4y ago> We're talking about fingerprinting here. I think the whole subthread is more mixed in terms of fingerprinting and social interactions. But if you only consider the the former then yes, one would probably only care about what I called "resourceful actors" to which you would end up standing out. I was more referring to the social aspect, were if you give someone a name they will (usually) not immediately assume it is false. Thus giving a false name does not make you "stand out" unless there is already other information in play. But I'm just clarifying what I meant, considering your point was meant for a different context.
