	It may just be the right way backward.

hehe. look at it metaphorically (like guest inside establishment)

you're head of security at a casino you monitor a specific area full of
people/users.
you have your normal people you can see and possibly identify if you so
care. there's a
group of people that walk in and are wearing clothing that is obviously
meant to obscure their intentions. would you let them stay in your casino,
or would you ask them politely to
take off their masks?

do you choose to accept fully anonymous people (only being able to identify
them as being anonymous) into your establishment?
