Since you obviously didn't read it....
You are in denial, and should begin a 12 step program maybe?...
Masking is complete before it can be sent to fab, simple as that.
One cannot tapeout without having a mask done.
The mask itself is used to print the circuits, so it's impossible to tapeout without it, because tapeout is the sending of the mask to manufacture the wafer.

lol. I read something different. When the tape out is complete then the photomask starts manufacturing...
