Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.

Because when this RPX or whatever they use now has a box that comes up with images of Google, Yahoo, Windows Live, AOL, Livejournal, Blogger and other websites the person has signed up with; the person on the website has no idea that by having a Blogger account, they already have an OpenID.
So because they have no idea, they then go through all the effort of creating a new OpenID with MyOpenID and using it's horrendous interface.

OpenID is supposed to consolidate people's online identities by making them authenticate themselves to websites only using one account. It's also designed to increase security.
Increase security? Increase security? Then how come on the login page of a third party OpenID provider to the actual website you want to login to, there's some warning about the risk of giving your details to dodgy third parties?
I signed up to a third party OpenID provider, and I'm being warned when I login with my OpenID that I should be careful who I give my details to.
Doesn't that sound ridiculous to you?
Maybe the true risk is signing up to OpenID in the first place, because once it becomes widespread, you hand over your persona to a site, they know your personal details, and possibly your password from a low security OpenID provider.
