Think about a mirror, you render with no reflections and its just a bit of black geo, with OTT reflections it at least can be seen as a mirror. More works needed to get it looking right though.
Not sure if blurred reflections are more realistic, or am I thinking of mirrors, prompted by your example? 
But do we need reflections? There are lots of scenes that don't require any, eg. dark dungeons.
