You are the one somehow conflating an identity card with your actual identity as a self, which seems extremely strange and spurious.
The one conflating the two isn't the author, but the state. A fixation on the state sanctioned representation of someone's identity instead of the actual, living person himself is exactly what caused TFA's author troubles.
