So what you're saying is in Mastering an engineer would never add a little reverb (if he felt it was needed) to the mixdowned track?

Well, in the best-case scenario, yes.

However, if the tracks are dry or otherwise exhibit a "wrong" sounding ambience, perhaps that would be an exception to a general rule.

Here's the thing about Mastering that many don't really want to get: Each new song is a new Mastering project that must be taken on its own merit or lack thereof, problems identified, problems solved. There isn't a pat formula for this one, no matter what somebody tells or sells. Not if it is done right, anyway.
