Details change, that is all part of the identification process. All information is valuable in identifying any individual. For example when you ask "is this the person I'm looking for?" the answer could be "yes, the high school is the same" or "they mentioned living with their parents" or "they said they lived in a condo with two master bedrooms". The point is you never know what information is relevant till you need it.
Heck, even someone's taste in cereal can help identify them when it comes down to it. Take for example the goal of identifying if for example a common username like James123 is used on many different forums. To determine if it's the same James123 you might check through their post history and look for similarities. You might find that the state they live in matches, but that is not enough to make sure it's the same person. Instead you may check to see if their common email address is already registered there, or trawl their post history looking for previously mentioned interests.
Before you get scared that I have put any thought into these matters, I'd like to point out that one of my old jobs back in Australia was as a private investigator. I was particularly involved a lot with cases of tracking down anonymous individuals online, and would spend a lot of time crawling hundreds of different minor leads to build enough information to identify them. A lot of those cases involved infidelity, however the occasional one related to paedophilia or other severe crimes.

:/ That's my business to tell who I chose.
Ever heard of "oversharing"?
I'd also like to point out when I begged one of the AA's to let me transfer my things over to a new account to avoid said ex, I was denied this request because of something like, "Personal matters aren't our problem, we can't prove that you really are having problems with this guy, blah blah."

I didn't state you had problems with your ex, I didn't even know he was your ex till last night, and I certainly do not know if you had any problems with them. I asked because I know he has some technical abilities. Excuse me for showing any concern for your account or your personal life.
I didn't even mention who your ex was. Why are you even sharing that you asked the AA's to hide your account?
