So, let's see. You said

It is not correct that "he was never asked to provide any real-world contact information".

And now you're saying

I assume you are solely referring to "real-world contact information" issue.
As far as I know, no one asked this person his/her phone number, address, bank account numbers, date of birth, schooling & employment history, if that's what you mean. Since he was unwilling to disclose even his real name, do you believe that such a questionnaire would have been anything but a waste of time?

I think that's one contradiction there, so I am forced to conclude that the root of your security policy is in fact "does this person's name sound real". As I said above, this is... weak.
