> This scene, which has a far away camera, creates artifacts in the torus:

After trying this scene myself, I've discovered the light position doesn't
matter to the results and that the artifacts increase proportionally with
the distance of the camera.  As the distance increases, the artifacts start
appearing from the inner, then outer edge, working towards each other.  One
idea that may be the cause is a rounded sight vector from the camera through
the screen into the object if the decimals are being dropped with the small
angle camera.
