I've been using email aliases for over a decade and have never experienced the leading examples the author mentions. Although I already have email accounts setup for impromptu scenarios, setting up an email alias in one minute is easy enough.

I have several times. Generally I can just say "you can write anything before the @ and it still comes to me" and people understand it though. It doesn't need to become a big discussion about how email works and they've probably forgotten by the end of the interaction.
Maybe once or twice I've given my address to a new friend as [email protected] and it's lead to at least a small discussion about it.
