I have never heard that as any standard procedure.
I feel a good ME will explain the pros & cons in attemting to match a reference in both sound & level. If your mix cannot hold up at levels as good as the reference, by listening not looking, you should have beed told. if you then decided to go for it that way then it's your call to do so.
isn't our job a ballance of making things sound better & to do what the client asks for? If so, a better line of communiction should have been in place.
