I was thinking of scenarios like "the phone slipped out of my hand" and 
"I tripped over the PC power cord", actually.... there are plenty of 
reasons why calls get disconnected.

Dynamically deciding the available agent helps for better agent time utilization in the call center compare to direct dialing to the agent. The agent may work in shift (in the different timezone) wherein you will not be able to reach him in the same identity itself. In these type of call center, the case id or your existing some id is the way to continue your earlier conversation if it is recorded in some form.
My point was not to dispute any of those for the cases you describe. But 
those cases are not the only cases; I've re-called into call centers 
where I've said "I was talking to John", and the responder says "OK, I 
see he's free, I'll transfer you".

The desire for "anonymous agents" is not synonymous with "doesn't 
support re-dial" - that was really my only point.

Please note that you MUST be premium user of the bank to get that privilege or have to live with case-id or start from IVR&  reach some new agent to start with.
It seems we agree that some people will want to build applications where 
this functionality is available. That was really all I was trying to 
say, so I'm happy now.
