What you're describing appears to be about disconnecting the transformers from the grid, to prevent a power surge from racing through and frying everyone's equipment. But based on the article (or at least my understanding of it), the transformers themselves are still vulnerable:
I may be totally wrong but I always thought the problem was with the grid itself. Like there wluld be enough energy captired by all that connected wiring to generate a power surge withough the transformers and power plants.

Basically, unplugging things would not matter.
