The entire system hinges on identity. Without it, spammers continue to make up identities, and you can't tell whether the mail is from a spammer or not because you have no information about it.

Can this be altered slightly to say that the entire system hinges on identity that cannot be easily changed. That principle is the backbone of good solutions to many problems, in technology and elsewhere, actually.

That was of course the standard mode of operation when all email was host-based and users couldn't readily unbind their login-IDs (identities) from their e-mail addresses.
