Indeed, what you can do if you don't want to read any
configuration (except the configuration that says don't read
any configuration) is to either use `load-file' in .emacs to
the real (additional) configuration, and then comment those
lines out as desired, _or_ do something else to the extent of
reading or not reading the code, for example just gobble
everything, not right now perhaps but in a `while'.

Why not? It's more ergonomic.
