To me the crux of the issue is whether it is obvious that Rater/Reviewer A is actually the person behind Game B. If there is a disconnect or some deception there then we have a problem. But I maintain that to expect or even demand silence does nothing productive.

The professor graded us wholly independently of our own evaluations. The point was to learn to critically evaluate our own performance. As you older generations are so found of pointing out, us post-1980 kids grew up in the
everyone-gets-a-trophy period and are often ill-equipped for the
not-niceties of The Real World.
