I feel like the sediment would bury the element well before the anode becomes an issue. I'm just imagining this person doesn't flush it either.

You uh... Have you checked your water filters?

In a tank water heater you react out calcium and magnesium when your heat. Tap water varies but you will get sediment from disolved minerals that will eventually bury the element if not flushed out.
