Cause it doesn't exhibit radiosity artifacts - only noise. I just meant
that I'd love to see POV-ray support unbiased rendering as opposed to
radiosity with all its shortcomings. The argument against path tracing
and similar methods is usually speed so I wonder how would a properly
implemented path Monte Carlo renderer do in this scene.
