Interesting. But the article headline is misleading. The article states that the biggest difference was between volatile anonymity where people could make arbitrarily many accounts, and stable pseudonyms, where a ban cannot easily be evaded. Stable pseudonyms are a lot better as the article states.
Between stable pseudonyms and real names, the difference is smaller, as stated in the article. Real names make it only slightly worse.

Or in other words, effective bans work best for moderating a community. Shocking news I tell you.
