It seems like that there is a reason that names are tiny/gray: we should judge what is said on its merit, not based on who said it.
I've had the good fortune to know and work with some extremely smart people, and none of them is always right. How is it useful to be able to follow all of X's comments?
I've found that the moderation system here is fairly good at separating the wheat from the chaff. Far more so than identity is, at least.

The point here being that these people are notable for a reason. I expect to find disproportionately more useful/insightful comments from them on their subjects than from the average user, including myself.
