I think it is a very poor assumption to think that anything which would have been created by users not logged in will find its way to AfC. In fact, I believe that the AfC process tends to filter out exactly those submissions which are preferred - casual submissions by someone trying to improve things, and does very little to discourage people who are trying to push a viewpoint from wasting people's time.
What we probably really want is a way where anon users *can* create articles, but that they're kept in quarantine. AfC is a very clunky way of achieving that.
I've especially found the AfC process to be ridiculous when I run across a redirect that needs to be created.
I was about to suggest that anons be allowed to create redirects, but there would be the obvious loophole that they could edit it afterwards. Then again, editing a redirect is pretty much creating a new article, so maybe that should be banned anyway for anons.
