I completely agree it's not the "right" way to go about it, but it is a "quick
fix" for such a problem as he originally described. For example, here is "Basic
Scene 10 - Night moon partly cloudy sky:"

1) the top image is the original (non-radiosity)

2) the middle version uses a default radiosity {} block without changing
anything else

3) the bottom is the same as #2 but replacing ambient with emission. Quick fix.
Not identical, but to my eye renders using radiosity always looks better anyway.
