Again, I resent your allegation and expect you to take it back. 
Name-calling and loosely flung accusations of trolling do not conform to 
the standard of behavior we all agreed to.

I must admit that I have not read that other study yet, so I cannot 
comment on their conclusion. This study here however reached another 
conclusion:

"The analysis of the use of WHOIS Privacy and Proxy
services leads us to conclude that the usage of a WHOIS
Privacy and Proxy services by itself is not a reliable indicator
of malicious activity. Apart from the peaks, the usage of
Privacy and Proxy services for abusive domains is not that
high (see Figure 28, Figure 29)."
