You’re parsing the phrasing beyond any rational meaning or common sense. The person administering the survey would not ask about multiple accounts then record the value of only one. (Which one?) The documentation you’re looking at refers to

Yes, you can. In fact bootstrapping is a useful technique for a variety of circuits involving some small input signal, and even large ones, like power supply design. This article is a little weird in framing the concept solely around the a
