What a bias as to what is “real” and not real about an address. Are addresses in Utah not “real”?

When Australia required that buildings be assigned a street number my grandmother simply ignored the rule: never posted a number on the gate and continued to use her house name, until she passed away more than four decades later. Was her use not “real”?

TFA uses "real" to mean "formal" address systems.
