If you disconnect the dongle then the target is definitely immune to
changes on that dongle.

Michael, please read carefully, I think you don't understand what we
say. There is more philosophy in your talk than it should be. The
pull-up or pull-down resistors are used in the electronics to protect
against random input states. If you switch output into Hi-Z the
pull-up or pull-down resistor will take care of the on the pin state.
Give us one good example where this is not true...
