> People very rarely make that mistake though, so why add cognitive load to the vast majority of users to cover that edge case? I think it’s better to just let users change their emails afterwards.

they can’t change their emails afterwards… inactive user is now allowed to login in discourse.

and, most of big services give change for correct their email address.  
for example, twitter.
