They aren't important, and therefore unnecessary.

I walked into the shop last week after an absence of 10 days due to work and travel.
First thing I did was run into a small group of students organizing the tool cart and I saw a new face. As usual, I said, 'hello, who are you?' After he had introduced himself and told me a little bit about joining the team - one of the other freshman who had had a very shy transition from middle school to LASA, said, 'Jane! Is there finally a student on the team whose name you don't know!?'
I wasn't quite sure how to respond.
I value names.
We come from different perspectives.
