This makes sense to me.
Makes a lot more sense than. "Hey Bob, better hurry up on that line before some homeowner fires up his genny."
The whole point is that people make mistakes. I will not have my (totally avoidable) mistake kill someone, even if they made a mistake also. A quick internet search reveals that this is not "boogyman" stuff. People have died from homeowners backfeeding their homes. I am glad the OP has correctly determined that backfeeding is a bad idea. Kudos.
