Thank you for the suggestion, but that wouldn't work because there could be multiple authors with the same name, who differ only by ID. If I were to change the name of an author, I wouldn't know which one should I change and which one should stay. Additionally, there could be additional author information, such as external identifiers, that needs to be connected to the author.
