It's evil, risky, illegal, immoral and supernatural as it is to go into contract with the Dark Brotherhood. Do you think anyone ever would if it was known that there was the slightest risk that their identity could be compromised? Carrying such written information around, in their line of work, is unwise and unnecessary risk. Unwise and unnecessary risks are fatally bad for business. Yes, that ALSO sucks for the target. Yeah, but it's just... argh.

At least when Hired Thugs are sent to "Teach us a lesson", they tell us who sent them. This way, we can reflect back on who it is we robbed or killed, and simply clarifies our past mistake. But in the case of the Dark Brotherhood, there are probably a hundred or more people that we piss off in a day... and yet we will never know who it is that decided to take action against us.
