correct ...

either that or you can start modelling complex shapes for a
probability model. Meaning, you support a greyscale bitmap
where black says "no here won't get a ray shooten from" and
white means that from here will get a ray shooten with the
highest probability.

This would allow you to form flare shapes as they sometimes
appear in photography; think of hexagonal or triangular ones.

The problem would be, that it will even slower to determine
the point.
