Do aircraft REALLY care how they are identified? Honestly? We just have a host of techniques available to us, yet we just say 'identified'. Seems to work. I think you will find that phraseology varies from place to place, but the general vibe is the same. I agree that there are some things that just don't need to be said. I was just curious as to why aircraft need to be told how they are identified, if that is what you are getting at.
