why does serendipity use id-title.html style tags?
It seems to use both of the params to find the article, but why, you could use either id or name to find the article

The id is used for DB lookup. We then know the right entry id, and this saves one additional database lookup for matching a link to an entry. So if a id is present in the URL, Serendipity disregards any title information.
The title is used in the URL for prettyness and readablity and backward-compatibility.

but if the title is incorrect, it will not fetch the entry
Is it possible to remove that id?

I don't understand you - if you have the ID in the URL, the title doesn'T matter.
http://blog/archives/5-ignore.html and
http://blog/archives/5-this-is-another-title.html
will both show entry 5. Only if you omit the 5 in the URL and would use a permalink pattern without %id% it would match the title and then
http://blog/archives/ignore.html and
http://blog/archives/ignore-.html
would not yield the same result.
If that is not what you asked, please try to explain it more detailed.
