But you can. I do it all the time. It works. Lots of people, myself among them,
are using systems of the Zooko type right now.

What could possibly stop me? How could it possibly fail? How could anyone pass
himself off as being someone else's Zooko identity?

Internet forums based on the urbit system exist, they are now quite useful and usable.

How could one person on such a forum pretend to be another person on such a forum? It just would not work.
