<snip>

Most transformations take place relative to <0,0,0>. This is particularily
important in relation to scaling and rotating.

Try scaling both
sphere{0,1}
and
sphere{<1,0,0>,1}
by and equal amount

Try rotating the two by an equal amount around y as well. When the result
doesn't suprise you and indeed seems blindingly obvious, then you know you've
got the essentials of POV's co-ordinate system....
