  As human beings, we do not need 'ID'. But when programing,
especially do remote sentence modification, 'ID' make sense, we
operate direct on java object when coding in java, but we can not
access a java object remotely. So we have to operate on the 'ID' of an
object, and the java program map the operation on 'ID' to operation on
the object it represents. This make both client side and server side
simple.
  Yes, we can do something like 'change the 2nd sentence of "An apple
is a fruit." to "Every apple is a fruit."',  but I still think
something like 'change the sentence with ID 234 to "Every apple is a
fruit".' is better.
