Miners can not operate anonymously

Why? https://socrates1024.s3.amazonaws.com/consensus.pdf: "Abstract—We present a formal model of synchronous processes without distinct identifiers (i.e., anonymous processes) that communicate using one-way public broadcasts."

I haven't read that paper but from the abstract it isn't obvious how this would relate to miners on a pool which is almost all Bitcoin mining right now.
