This is exactly what i was talking about, in real life highlights (which i
would define as the bright spot appearing on on illuminated shiny
surfaces) are caused by reflection on the surface.  Whether the reflection
is blurred or not (in other words how rough the surface is) only
influences the characteristics of the highlight.
