His real name is a microdot on his collar.

I think that is awful. I don't know what name you've used, it could be Joe Bloggs, guess we'll never know the real person at all.
But what if someone called Fred Bloggs, looking for a relative, is told by someone that there is a photo of A Coy Accrington Pals and a certain Joe Bloggs is there. Your 'misinformation' could send poor Fred off to do lots of meaningless research, totally oblivious of any other picture and obviously without success , trying to find out more info on someone whom he believes could be his great grandfather. He'd be wasting his time because of you.
Similarly, because of YOUR purposeful error, there may be a relative of the man mis-named who will never see what he actually looked like.
How would you feel??
