Because people find it easier to express they're inner self stupities though a false identidy.
They shame of looking stupid in front of others if they where to act the same stupid ways with they're true identies?
They would panic and think "What will this network of people think of me if they really knew I thought this way"

Just like the character you portray being here at Oprano can say comments and silly indirect remarks, that if you where to say in your REAL identidy? then you would lose credibility and trust inside your working network of trustees. So you present a cover (or shield) to hide and protect your credability.
