Yes, exactly. This is why it's so important to separate floor reflectivity from "room structures" and other unrelated issues. In a small home studio "live" room, wall and ceiling reflectivity becomes more important because those too are close to the sound sources and to the microphones.

All I'm trying to do here is apply some science to this subject. With science we can learn what matters and what doesn't, and avoid trial and error.
