While technically true, anyone creating an ID using someone else's email would be unable to verify the account making it unusable. All someone would have to do is go through http://iforgot.apple.com to reset the password for the ID setup under their email. From there the account would be under control of the email owner.

I did change the password, but it had reached the point where the impostor had security questions in place so that I could not take certain actions against the account without answering them. Namely, I wanted to delete the account or change the email address so that I could change MY email address to the desired one. There appears to have been a large delay in the system, as I was finally able to change it just now. The support employee was less than helpful in stating this as a possibility, however.
