Just to nitpick: though not the same effect as the ripples we saw, this would
have the same problem as the "roundbox" and related shapes where it looks like
there is an irregularity in the surface. Essentially there is, because there's a
discontinuity in the curvature of the surface, it's most noticeable when a
highlight falls on the discontinuous area. But to make a truly smooth surface
would be needlessly complicated and probably slow to render.
