 Running a node is a way to enhance your privacy but Bitcoin is still a transparent ledger. Privacy is a spectrum. Let's be intellectually honest.  
 yes Bitcoin is a transparent ledger indicating a bunch of John Doe's.

 I don't need to. You have it all figured out. Your transactions have no deterministic links. You're debating in good faith. 
 Thanks for keeping it intellectually honest.
Just because someone doesn't have it figured out, doesn't mean nobody does ;-)
