That was to be expected: As the index of refraction changes, so does the
distance inside the object, and hence the "good range" at which the random
numbers will be accepted.

Oh, and please don't turn the universe inside-out by using negative mm-per-unit
values, as the algorithm doesn't yet work with complex numbers :P
