Can anyone tell me why the policy prohibits editing via an open proxy whilst logged in? I can see nothing abusive in that apart from protecting one's own privacy. One cannot avoid blocks or bans that way.

As I understand it, presumably because the account could be or have sockpuppets without being detectable.
I don't believe this to be a strong argument. Perhaps there is a better one that I am unaware of.

It's a very simple matter to create and use sockpuppets if editing with open proxies are allowed. The second you create one you are "logged in" with it.
