I don't need to, I've read nearly every research piece on Tor and it's security model. Knowing that you are using Tor doesn't help me figure out what you're doing on it.
Current ways to track people using Tor are:
1. Own the exit node the target happens to use, and also have access to the target's ISP for a timing attack
2. Own both the entry and exit node in the target's circuit
3. Exploit unsafe behaviour. Posting images, using the same username on the darknet as the clearnet, or, more famously, having your computer automatically log into an account on an IM client over Tor on startup.
None of these are made any easier by knowing that a person is using Tor.
