It's because there's a place on a form the DMV clerk is filling out. If
it says SS # there's no other number or piece of paper it will accept. And
there's no amount of logic or reasoning that can make that blank space on
the form go away.
You're not dealing with people you have to fight a blank place on a
computer screen with a place for 8 numbers.
