Soup, this is a pretty standard thing that pretty much happens during any guitar overdub.
Some players are more comfortable playing in the control room where they can hear themselves better than listening through cans in the live room.
Thanks for the compliment though
Wish I was the one who thought of this setup, but i'm sure it has been happening since before I was even born.It's interesting though. You've probably heard the expression one man's trash is another man's treasure. I believe this principle also stand with genius. One's man's mistake is another man's discovery. So after a while what is standard becomes kind of a blur.

For instance, I don't have an engineer behind the wheel and I'm recording in a rehearsal studio. Neither of which are standard, so I run into a lot of 'hmm, how the hell am i going to fix this?'.

Another example could be found in any 'best microphone' thread. Geez. That's all I'm saying about that.

I will also agree that "simplicity is the hallmark of genius" so standards are there for a reason. Knowing how to break them and get around shit that pops up. Well, that's another thread.

Peace,
