Both transparency and anonymity have their place in society. When talking about use of public funds, transparency is important. When discussing buyer rights anonymity is important. I think you have a great article here -- you can follow it up with what times transparency is needed. Of course, these two are antithetical to one another. If you can make it dark, then it means that the transparent record isn't perfect. But, that I think reveals more about how society thinks -- these two opposites need to exist.
