Only because it stores owner's of files by UID's and checks /etc/passwd for the username string associated with that UID. If you change *miguel back to miguel, everything is owned by miguel again. It's important to not mislead people into thinking major system changes have occured when they actually have not.

My point precisely. That is why you shouldn't do it.
