While that is true, let's be realistic; nearly all of the uses of SSL
today _are_ anonymous encryption, and "SSL authentication" means in practice
you're sending your plaintext username/password over the anonymously-
encrypted SSL channel.  Sure, you can do client certificates, but almost
nobody does.
