Honestly, I don't see a giant problem with identifying the person in question by name (and also find the research rather interesting.) Eric hasn't indicated that he regrets using the term, and has pretty robustly defended using it (going as far back as at least 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eric_Corbett/Statement - and he is very easily linked via Google to his statements and general use of the word. Realistically any research posted on meta will be primarily consumed by Wikimedians, and the current GGTF arb case is quite high profile. Although it's not incredibly common to name people in research without their explicit consent, it's quite common in journalism - I've had full comments of mine quoted by name in prominent media outlets going back years, with me often only finding out after someone pointed them out to me (and happening way before I did any voluntary media outreach.)
