I always setup my own new installs offline, with no Internet connected and assumed that the was the workaround this was referring to. Guess that's my fault for not reading the article. I wasn't even aware of the fake email bypass.

But my reasons were primarily because I wanted to disable as much telemetry as possible and tweak other settings before putting it on a network.
