Hm, you're correct, and I actually do know that. My line of thought was:
"These two are responsible, do one or the other." Maybe I should have
phrased it differently. Then again, in povray.newusers I try never to give
the answer right away, but give a very obvious hint where to look. :-)

I think fog would be in the same category of "ambient doesn't matter here",
and might even influence the image in the way Mienai is referring to, but
that's just a wild guess.
