The theory, supported by  research, is that active moderator
participation, results in a reduction in participation by list members,
with the highest impact being amongst the low-frequency posters.

Link(s) please?

Regardless, you do know that using identities, it would be entirely
achievable for a moderator to interact on the list and 99% of the list
participants wouldn;t know they were the same person.

Well, no.

Well, yes.

What happens when the moderator is an active participant on
the list, is that their messages tend to be seen as "authoritative" by
people who can browse list messages.

Only if they are posting as the moderator. If they post as a simple
participant, then most won't even know they are a moderator.

One side effect, is that questioning information provided by the list
moderator becomes difficult/awkward.

Not at all, as long as they are civil, and the moderator can hold their
god complex in check.
