It depends on your authors, calibre does try to guess the right link as a default. And you will have the exact same problem with any approach to gathering author metadata - there is no single repository that contains it all and you will always have to do some sort of duplicate name resolution etc.

Like I said, it isn't a perfect solution but it was low cost to implement for suiting a number of users.
