How likely is it that one takes an anonymous benchmark published by a noname researcher seriously?

Ah the same level as if it were from an acclaimed researcher: not only did they do the work, they also risked breaking the law to disclose it.

This isn't line the traditional case of no name vs trusted name: due to the law you _must_ br anonymous to post this, so anonymity isn't a red flag, it's the standard.

Extremely.

Why would you assume people generally do background/credential checks on researchers?

Sure its nice to have it on phoronix or something, but its by no means a deal-breaker if it isn't.

Aren't benchmarks supposed to be more or less reproducible? So just publish the results and the data?
