Um, fifth-pillar and IAR issues aside, the page doesn't actually say
that.  Indeed, the only real principles there are "Disambiguation in
Wikipedia is the process of resolving conflicts in article titles that
occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic"
and "When there is no risk of confusion, do not disambiguate nor add a
link to a disambiguation page".  (Pedantry: note that this doesn't
explicitly require that both articles be created prior to
disambiguating; the only requirement is that the *term* be known to be
ambiguous.)
