I disagree.
TOFU is what many users do anyway: identity persistence is often more
important than "real" identity... And harder to fake by any opponent
(governments would have no problem creating "fake" identity cards,
passports or anything -- after all that's what they usually do for
"real" ones!). On the other hand, if you saw mails from a single address
signed by the same identity for years, chances are that it's the same
person, even if the name on the identity card is different.
