Sounds to me like they're using "100% GI" in a very strict sense (no compositing techniques). If so then we're saying pretty much the same thing. If you don't use the compositing features built into the big dog renderers, then yes, that can be considered "100% GI" and is not as controllable as using the compositing features. Although I can tell you with some certainty that computing costs are a big factor in why they need lots of control.
