You're debating data anonymization with colleagues. How do you find common ground?

Why is this a debate? If some or all of the data has to be anonymous, that's it! Is it the law? Ethics? Something we promised the people providing that data? Why is this a debate? This article is under UX Research. That means that we defer to what our professional Researchers suggest and do. That's it. We don't fight over opinions people have about what Researchers do.
