Exactly, from what I cant tell, this would make it easier to get a passport w/o a birth certificate since rather than deal with a traditional "bureaucratic investigation" (as BB calls it) you can fill this out in an afternoon.
And of course if you don't happen to know all these details (who the hell does?) then you write "unknown".
If you do have the misfortune to be a legit US citizen without a birth certificate then you gotta throw the passport office a bone. You don't need to know the names of the persons present, but if you did then it'd help them verify your identity. Nor do you have to have been baptised, but if you were then they can look that up too.
In conclusion, this is just the random internet-media beatup of the day. Someone should write an article about the life cycle of these.
