_Inadvertently_ assuming another author's identity should be avoided. When the
user actually wants to do so, they should be able to. When does this happen?
Examples:

1. User had not yet filled in their user info, comments are shown as being by
anonymous
2. User has an error or missing field in their user info, comment author has
wrong/partial info
3. User identifies differently at home and at work, wants to replace one
"author" with another version of themselves.
4. User got comments from an author whose identity they do not want to
disclose.
5. User's personal information has changed, e.g. changed their name during
marriage, they want to update their comments.
6. User wants to expand on the comment of another author (and comments are not
multi-author), with attribution being non-critical.

Good, then maybe it's an EasyHack?
