AO is nothing more than a fake GI method.  It doesn't take light into
consideration, only how far geometry is from each other to affect occlusion.
This way, it might occlude in shadow some parts even if it was entirely under
direct light.  That means it's truly fake and does not correspond to reality.

May be nice to get some more contrast, but that extra contrast may have no
correspondence in real life.
