Biases arise if people are allowed to cite other papers even when the publications are made anonymous. The importance of a paper can be estimated from their citations. For example, an important work cites another ground-breaking work. Besides, novel research idea and topic is rare and serves as a signature to the authors and their affiliations. Because researchers often verbally share their research results with others (through the internet), every people will recognize them and their works finally. My feeling is that as long as the whole open system makes scientific progress, and suppresses malicious or false scientific results, it is fine.
