Like raven92 said, the only reason to do that as a buyer is if your paranoid that SR is run by LEO, but bigger risk is seller being leo...or as I said the very fact that you've bought Bitcoins can be used against you if, for example you've signed for a package containing contraband and try to claim you did so in good faith, unaware there was anything illegal inside. Use cash to buy your BTC or sell goods/services to get them and you can obtain them in total anonymity - even I don't know my clients' real names or identities which is the way it should be in my humble opinion!V.
