Impossible. For a site loaded from a SERP, the page will be preloaded if it is AMP. If you are creating an AMP page to be accessed directly (like the author), you fundamentally don't understand the problem that AMP solves and are using it wrong. PEBKAC.

Which is in disagreement with the OP's statement:

AMP is just a set of conventions and limitations that, when followed, make for a fast site.

AMP is more than that. AMP is the CDN that allows Google.com to preload your web page, and sits as an intermediary between you and your users.

Anyone can run an AMP cache. Bing also serves AMP pages.

It is a disagreement with OP's statement. Neither OP nor article author understand the problem that AMP solves.

Also, AMP is not a CDN. A CDN is a component of an AMP preloading implementation.

I dont want google to preload ANYTHING for me. Thanks.

If you go to the seminars held by Google, they suggest that in an ideal world your original pages would be AMP rather than having them separate.
