If you buy top hardware, model, texture, and drop accurate lighting in 
your scene, PoV can do it, too.

The trick is the accurate lighting.  It's not impossible to do in PoV.

And sometimes, you want something that's intentionally inaccurate. 
(Ever put a diffuse value of, say, 1000 on a texture in a radiosity 
scene?  How about negative-intensity light sources?  Negative value for 
fade power?)
