I don't think your analogy works. Sure, half a cig doesn't make sense, but you can have a facebook account without handing over trusted information.

The analogy is actually directed more to the "slow down people's engagement on the site" part of the sentence. The part about people opening anonymous account is a fantasy that presumes that people care. We've been spammed through email for years now, yet only few people can be bothered to open a dedicated account just for the purpose of signing up to various services.
