If you want to be pedantic, then lets clarify my statement that:
given anonymity requires that your identity is not known by any other entity and
given that it is known that at least one state actor has known ability to inspect/siphon much of the traffic around the world either directly or through data sharing and
given the ability to inspect traffic at such locality and breadth allows for unique attack vectors to tor which greatly reduce the need to park/own ingress or egress nodes
It is highly likely that there is no (0) implied guarantee of anonymity for any specific user on Tor.
