Yeah - but a vocal might have been recorded through a compressor on the way in if it was too dynamic and overloading things... and I suppose you might want to emulate that by sticking a compressor on first. Just as a hypothetical example.
There is no cheating, and I think you should be here to show how awesome your mix is . I got your point about missing a trick, but you can always ask people how they are getting their sounds. In my experience people have been more than happy to share. I wouldn't worry about the people critiquing your mix as such.
Personally speaking although I think it's good to know the science, I also think you can maybe also get a little too hung up on certain tropes too, and your mix can suffer for that. That was really my point.
Cheers!

Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
