I'm not going to argue with your point, but I can come up with a number 
of counter examples of modifying a physical studio during a session!

Putting the playback speakers out of phase so that the vocal mic could 
be placed in a cancellation node in the live room - neat trick, try it! 
- in order to accomodate a singer who could not wear headphones due to 
an injury involved pulling the speaker to get to the banana plug.  The 
signal to the amp had to be mono, and it was harder to get to the back 
of the amp rack...

Some of my most fun in the studio (back in the days) was modifying the 
studio!
