Could you set the 'proxy' for that method to have a role that can check with impunity?

Interestingly, this works. You'd think that if I set the proxy to manager it wouldn't work as I'd wanted, because this proxy role now has permissions equal to that of manager, so I still couldn't check if Anonymous can view. But apparently this isn't the case, and it does work..

Could somebody explain this behavior?

AUTHENTICATED_USER doesnt have the permission, the role does.
