The very concept of ray-tracing is just a faked version of how nature works.
However, it looks nice, so we don't care. The result is what counts.
Likewise with lens-flares. If they look like lens flares, then they *are*
lens flares. I don't see why you define one faked method as being real nut
another as not being real.

You said the word yourself: "simulate". If it's just a simulation, it's not
real (or "true").
