Taking advantage of GA deficiencies is widely used to inflate traffic figures during website sales negotiations.
GA is really not a product you want to trust your business with. Best approach is to consider self-hosted analytics solutions.
I built my own for my needs which also include combined features for security analytics to investigate malware attacks. GA is totally useless in this aspect.

Of course it is, it's a marketing analytics tool. It's totally useless for many things that aren't related to marketing.
Concealing IP addresses and ignoring spammy referrers doesn't help in marketing either.
