I think the the point is one of connection to reality. Not many people who wear a Chicago Bulls basketball singlet think of themselves as Micheal Jordan or as a player in the team, however when someone lives, eats and breathes ST, including calling themselves Commander/Lt/Ensign Whoever, then one does have to wonder if they understand where the fictional world ends and the real world begins.
I'd consider it the same if someone walked about every day dressed in a full 49's uniform including the helmet and kept calling the for skrimages.
Dressing insanely for a sports event is similar to dressing insanely for a con. When the event is on it's fine, but carry it past the celebrating and you're getting into the wierdo zone.
