This "Anonymous" made a claim about the world. The claim is either true or false. We know how to demonstrate its truth or falsity: with the code in question.
Now, it's fine to play games, and it's fine to say "We did X" as some kind of ploy, or whatever. But as to whether that really happened, it's easily demonstrable: release the code and let disinterested third parties test it. This isn't even complicated, nor is it something that's foreign to programming culture. Indeed, it's central to programming cultures to "show your work," as it were, especially lefty programming cultures, in a free and open source sense.
You want to make this about people - precisely because you cannot make it about evidence.
