Amazing mixes in bad rooms??

Nice to see the new forum taking form. I recently read this article about Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, No Man, etc..) who I am a huge fan of his 5.1 mixes and also his own albums. I was just so surprised when I see the room that he mixes in. It has just about everything wrong you image and yet he makes incredible mixes with Logic and the UAD Apollo platform, which is the same that I use. See the article below.
Also, Ed Wynne from Ozric Tentacles. I really admire the work he does (his mixes do tend to have too much low end) but the clarity is incredible and he mixes in a bedroom these days with no acoustic treatment at all!!
How do they all get away with it or do they?? I am guess they are just extremely good at what they do and use the headphones a lot as well and if they actually had a proper acoustic mixing room, they would make even better mixes. Curious what people think. It makes you think that if you have world class equipment and some talent, you don't need a good room??
