This seems like seeking security through obscurity.
If a blogger wanted to be fully anonymous, they could do so by excluding personal details and using software to disguise their IP address.
The trouble with SCC is that Scott wants to be able to talk about his job and personal life, be known for his blog among friends, and cultivate IRL community around the blog. He just wants to avoid mass-media attention/​fame. He wants a readership that finds their own way to the blog. He also wants to avoid creating a perception of shadiness.
It seems to me that The Whisper would both look shady (it already sounds that way), and not actually accomplish this goal. The only way to accomplish it is if mass-media outlets abstain from outing bloggers. In fact, The Whisper would probably attract additional media attention.
