Huh? You obviously didn't read the part in the same paragraph that says that this procedure is being done TODAY, using _digital_ reverbs. This isn't technology from the 70's or 80's. Do you actually believe that all that beautiful reverb 'ambience' on your CDs/SACDs or whatever is all _natural_? Have you actually tried using reverb to create surround ambience yourself? I wouldn't dismiss something unless you have some first hand exposure, and can speak with some authority on the subject. I would bet that there are some DVDs of feature films in your collection right now where I used _exactly_ this technique to create the surrounds.
