The ident function is for the controller - not the pilot.
Hitting ident temporarily deletes every aircraft from the radar screen
except yours!
So if I were a busy controller, watching a potentially developing
situation, and some dumbass entering the zone hits ident and wipes out
my screens for a few seconds - I'm going to be slightly less than
impressed.


I had to read that twice to make sure you were serious. Hitting the ident
doesn't delete anything, it just enhances the target of the identing
aircraft.
