Correct, assuming there are many loads still connected to the dead feeder line. But for that instant, you are feeding the line with stepped up voltage at some very small amperage. AND, if a repair person is working that line between you and the grounding devices, the repair person could be exposed to line voltage. Current, at high voltage, requires less than a cycle to kill a human.
I think the point is, that the original poster had made his particular set up too easy to perform. There has to be something to force the disconnect from normal grid power prior to connecting generator power. Most here advocate a transfer switch which is a mechanical failsafe. Some systems rely on procedure use for hookup. Many back-feeders just hope they remember to open the main first.
