I certainly do agree with what you are saying here. However, as an aside, I 
must say (and this is really personal) that the technical side is only a 
'tool' for me to achieve my art. For me, it is not an end in itself, however 
interesting and important  it may be otherwise. I must admit that if the 
main(?) focus of the IRTC is the technical focus, then I sadly loose 
interest. I thought that the IRTC was a platform to create (and show) 
beautiful images through ray-tracing, whatever the technical background.
