  Yeah. If a rendering algorithm has existed for very long time, that
automatically means that it's old, obsolete and crap.

  Too bad this applies to radiosity as well. Depending on how you
define it, the radiosity algorithm can be dated back to the 1960s.
In fact, the theory is even older: The concept of "radiative transfer
theory", which is basically the radiosity algorithm, dates back to 1926.

  Thus: Radiosity is almost 80 years old, thus it's crap.
