A bit of emphasis to noobs seems to be put on room treatment when they are just at a point trying to decide what mic to buy, maybe to point they aren't sure if they should get a dynamic or a condenser mic (some may argue it makes no difference ) or treat the room before they use a mic in the room where they plan to record. Most noobs likely don't have a clue if the room may be an acoustic nightmare or not and forthright get a lot of recommendations to simply treat the room in the very beginning. Not suggesting room treatment is a bad thing or something that shouldn't be done, but rather than getting hung up on trying to make a room 'mic friendly', which may cause a noob indecision on mic selection, why not just suggest delaying treatment until the noob has a chance to use a mic for a while and gets a better feel if the room sucks or not and go from there. Don't base a mic selection on the idea that the recording area 'needs' treatment, so I shouldn't get a condenser mic cause the room is probably crap.
