That is not true.  Black spots on isosurfaces can have multiple reasons, 
the most common being an insufficient max_gradient.  The idea of using 
interpolation for the final root position is good but it is not a 
panacea for all kind of isosurface problems.  In other words it will 
only improve the results if the isosurface root finder has already 
successfully found the root.
