We're talking about fingerprinting here. Even a person wearing a ski mask could give a name, they still stand out because they have a ski mask on.
Deviations from the norm make you stand out, even if it's lying.

I think the whole subthread is more mixed in terms of fingerprinting and social interactions. But if you only consider the the former then yes, one would probably only care about what I called "resourceful actors" to which you would end up standing out.
I was more referring to the social aspect, were if you give someone a name they will (usually) not immediately assume it is false. Thus giving a false name does not make you "stand out" unless there is already other information in play. But I'm just clarifying what I meant, considering your point was meant for a different context.
