Why I never use my reverb pedal in the studio

Got into a polite argument with the engineer on the last session about this. He wanted me to print bass with a small room reverb on it. I refused. Posting because I want to know if I'm being a snob or if I'm right. My position: bass is the foundation of the low end. Reverb on bass smears the attack and the tail across the kick drum's frequency range. The whole reason the mix is going to feel tight is because the bass and kick are clean and aligned. Any reverb on the bass during tracking is a decision that can't be undone in mixing. If the producer wants a washy bass in the final mix, they can add a parallel reverb buss in post and high-pass it at 200Hz. That way I keep my dry low end and they get their texture. But printing reverb on the source signal is committing to a mistake you can't unmake. The bass is louder when you play less of it. The bass is also louder when you don't blur it. Am I being old-fashioned? Has anyone here printed bass with reverb and not regretted it?
