He dislikes anthropomorphism because there is no real-world equivalent of logic, and he believes that we should attack the logic problem of software head-on. Creating a metaphor is great for abstracting what logic is actually doing, but it discourages focusing on the actual logic. Basically the metaphor is an opiate. It feels good to think about, because turns an intractable problem into one that is intuitive. But it doesn’t actually solve the problem - only considering the logic does.
