  Wrong. The patch did not add any transparency anywhere. It simply traced
the same object several times, transforming the object with the given
transformations at each sample, and then averaged the results.

  This gives a lot more realistic result. Using semitransparent objects
will give you unrealistic results. For instance, using semitransparent
objects will make the interior of the object partially visible, which is
usually very unwanted.
