I agree with this. Saying 'never use reverb' smells of elitism or fear to me. I think that a lot of people don't talk about the fact that mastering is as much or more art, than science or technique. It's just like music...you learn all the scales and inversions, and then you forget it and use intuition (and dare I say talent even in the context of the engineer). If it sounds good, then that's ALL that matters in the end.
