However, the online documentation for method 3 does mention that "if more
intervals are needed, POV-Ray will create them", or something to that effect. I
honestly don't know what the *visual* difference is between more SAMPLES and
more INTERVALS, or how they differ in meaning, but I'm wondering if 'confidence'
and 'variance' are truly ignored, if more intervals are created. The
documentation doesn't explain this well; perhaps the underlying algorithm is too
technical to do so.

Personally, I've never been able to see much (if any) difference when varying
confidence and variance, using method 3. So I ignore them too.
