I would say, this is a valid use of a sockpuppet, no?
Any use that isn't otherwise breaking WP policy is a valid use. We really don't care what you do with multiple accounts as long as none of them are abusive or used to multi-vote on things or support each other in arguments. If you are living your life right, your socks shouldn't have anything to fear. But if you're living your life right, why do you need a sock?
The canonical example is if you wanted to edit on socially-disapproved topics (e.g. bestiality, paedophilia) without having mud slung at your main account by people on the level of Wikipedia Review.
Perhaps. I kept Squeak from nuking the NAMBLA article a couple of weeks ago, and as far as I know didn't end up with a WR article out of it.
I feel more icky touching the topic at all than worried about what people think for my having done so.
