diffuse 0 mean that no light get diffused. brilliance controll how the 
light get diffused. No light diffused = brilliance have no effect.
To me, it's self evident.

As a matter of fact, you didn't.

I add it to the rules, as for somebody not familiar with physical

You mean like in a boxing ring? :-P

I think the documentation will get better as a result. I am compiling a
