I totally disagree with this, for making non-realistic work also 
caustics, radiosity,...etc are needed and much more is needed.
I sometimes even think this urge for realism is a limitation for the 
(creative) developpement of programms like pov-ray. Why not make this 
"don't know what to call it" object / feature?
From a scientific point of view though, I can understand this interest 
for realism.
