That indicates a failure of communication and convention though.

There are many things which can be abused - just define a convention
which states what's acceptable and unacceptable, and enforce it. This
is of course easier to do if you're already using code reviews or pair
programming.

In my view the benefits (in terms of readability, mostly) of anonymous
methods outweigh the potential problems.
