My take is that if the rotors are smooth enough that you can drag the edge of your fingernail radially across the disc and not encounter a groove deep enough to catch a nail, the rotors don't need to be turned. The only theoretical caveat is that the new pads will need a bit of a break-in period to conform to the contour of the face of the unturned rotor.

Just make sure to eyeball the back of the rotors. My father is one of the last of the great left-foot brakers. If you follow him down the street, you can see the brake lights on for 3/4 of the block. He always found a way to trash the inboard side of the rotor while leaving the outboard side relatively intact. The neighborhood mechanic would put the car on a lift and just shake his head in wonderment.
