You do not usually bound spheres with bounding boxes - you usually do not
bound spheres at all.  As I explicitly said, the information POV-Ray shows
is an internal statistic just like the intersection stats, the function VM
call stats, photon stats, and so on.  It is not an analysis of the scene
contents in a mathematical sense at all.
