No, it does help, but it is still possible to find ways to exceed this
limit.  Nobody ever said it would now never be exceeded.  It only prevents
people from setting it to 100000 and place two perfect mirrors in a scene
and wait for the crash.

Of course, we could reduce the limit to 5 or 6 and it would always work, but
I doubt that would be in anybodies best interest...
