In the article, it says to look over your quilt for mistakes. In my opinion, you would be better served to have someone else look over the quilt, especially a fellow quilter. Because you have looked at this quilt so much, you may not see any errors or problems, someone with a fresh eye will see the problems. This is what I do when I finish a top and am ready to load it onto the longarm.

A false back is a back that doesn't have the same quilting lines as the front of the quilt. Some people do their quilting and if they have some puckers, they apply another backing over the entire quilt back to disguise it. Another method used is to quilt the front to just the batting and then apply the back with minimum quilting lines to hold the sandwich together. Both of these would be considered a "false back".
