I think that it is important to understand that the context in which an artificial reverberator is used is just as important to this discussion as is the ability that the reverb has to create a context (temporal, spacial and gestural) for the source signal, and there is a need to distinguish these as two separate arguments when exploring this broad topic. Many great reverbs (EMT250, Lexicon 224) might sound 'bad' to a reverb designer today when auditioned without a source signal but satisfy the contextual criteria outlined above better than many more 'sophisticated' reverbs.
