It does not mean that you can’t top the plant, only it is not the best method for cuts due to the staggered internode spacing.
Other methods include tying down the top so that the side shoots bush out or super cropping (crushing the stem between nodes a little so it bruises and repairs) allowing the side shoots to catch up.
Personally I would bend the top over and tie it down so the plant bushes out.
I love helping females take their tops off 😜
I'll grab my coat
Jokes aside, I've yet to grow a cut to flower but was aware of this staggering nodes thing, I was planning on topping still once it had enough starting branches and then top them about two weeks later, should get something that resembles a seed topped plant.... if you squint
