Disconnecting ESS vs depressing accelerator

I read in the engine removal thread that you can disconnect the ESS to prevent the engine starting, in order to build oil pressure after a rebuild. Would holding the accelerator to the floor have the same effect, since doing that electronically prevents fuel injection?
