But my statement was too restrictive. If it has not yet even been established as probable that a crime has been committed, citizens should be allowed to not answer.

Go read Hiibel's brief. They are arguing that the person has a right to not identify himself even to the point of trial and sentencing.

That I don't agree with. There is such a thing as obstruction of justice.
