That's the point. If you publish anonymously then you can publish methodologies and analysis that is up to "gold standard" while completely falsifying/manipulating data.
The current system mostly relies on reputation and professional ethics/pride to filter out that kind of behavior even before the publication stage. The cost to replicate experiments is typically high - even in our current system we cannot replicate to the degree that we want. One presumes that in an anonymous system, the problem would get even worse.
