Except that the people included are thereby on the record as somehow being an author of these things, and maybe they don't want to be. I think that's a little worrisome. Ago, I-Ds expired after 6 months, and one wouldn't need to worry about this. But now they don't ever really go away, and I can see why some people feel that perhaps their reputations are being abused. I don't have a strong opinion about it, but on the other hand I don't have the sort of reputation that would make it useful to anyone to try to include me in their author list: I have way more bad ideas than good ones.
