One could argue that the 'WTFs' themselves are a bit of a (completely unscientific) marker of just such anti-patterns etc...

They might be, but equally they could be a marker of an unorthodox but brilliant piece of work (fast inverse square root springs to mind). I suppose that's the unscientific part, but it does strike me as being a bit of a useless marker.

One would be arguing wrongly. There are a lot of things that gets abbreviated to wtf other than "what the fuck".
