While you are right that higher accuracy values decrease the level of
detail, it has other influences, too.
I just tried it with an old scene and attached the resulting image. I
increased the accuracy value by far (0.1 instead of 0.000001) and left
anything else the way it was (after converting to 3.5 language of course).
Pov reports, that I should decrease max_gradient to lower rentertime  (5.141
instead of 6). In my opinion that black part is one of those isosurface
artefacts.
