Exactly!
I wish Bapu would tell me I definitely:
do not, under any circumstances, no way, no how, not now, not ever, not never...
Well you get the picture.

You'd have to be pretty much mixed just to get on it I think.

At the risk of taking a CH thread too literally/seriously... I've always taken "mix bus" to mean a bus that is taking the entire mix into it. That's where you'd apply effects to polish everything up with light compression/EQ/limiters/etc...
 
I usually set up a "Pre-Master" bus just before the master for this purpose and leave the master bus clean... but I'm no genie ass.
