How is this relationship affected if the material isn't "polished"?

How is this affected by variable or fresnel reflection?

Is there any relationship between reflection and roughness/phong_size?

Does this mean that you can set diffuse > 1 if brilliance is > 1?

In metals.inc and golds.inc, brilliance is increased as reflection is increased.
 Is there such a correlation in reality, or was that just the way it was decided
to define the textures?
