That is your assumption which it seems others don't agree with. Perhaps if you are going to post bald statements like thatit may be fairer to the discussion if you prefixed it with "my assumption is...".
From what I've read the problem with that assumption is that it doesn't take account of at least 3 factors (though perhaps more):
1. the sound that is not reflected (does the absorbed energy resonate differently within the wood/concrete and does that affect the 'sound' of the room?)
It also assumes that the energy that is reflected does so in an identical way (and thereore not at (2) a different angle or (3) a different speed vis-a-vis the surfaces).
My assumption therefore is that in real life if any of these factors change due to the material that must affect the sound of the room as the reflections will then interact differently and reach your ears/the microphone at different times.
