OK, that makes more sense.

It still leaves the quandary of whether your mix should peak at 0 db, or well below (per the advice of others on this board.)

Also, let's say I have a mix and it's hitting 0 or above and I turn down the master fader. Does that solve anything? Is the master fader reducing all of the channels before summing them, or simply lowering the output level after the fact (thereby still clipping but being "quieter")?

From what I understand from reading other posts, you're best served by keeping the individual tracks from hitting 0db (having them peak at -10db is ideal), and making sure that the master channel has several db of headroom.

What about using group channels?
