If the page does not have a link somewhere on your site or another link leading to it, the search engines will never find it. So you could put what ever you what on it, it would not matter. Without sometype of link to the external world, you might as well print a hard copy and place it into your file cabnet.

Based on the orginal post, he was talking about pages that are meant for spyders and bots only. These are a bad idea. Google directly states this is a no-no

People who get penalized are actively trying to hide links to gain the most from the links to them. Some just hide them in plain site, by putting a no follow tag on them. They won't get penalized by google for it, they just are screwing over their link partners by being sneaky.
