66   The
67   .I \-a
68   option turns off reciprocity averaging for isotropic scattering or anisotropic reflection.
69 < Normally on (+a), this ensures that the tensor BRDF obeys Helmholtz reciprocity.
70 < However, in certain rare cases, reciprocity averaging can cause unwanted noise in the output.
69 > Normally on (+a), this ensures that each tensor-tree hemisphere follows symmetry
70 > implied by Helmholtz reciprocity, and is designed to reduce noise in measured data.
71 > However, for some data, reciprocity averaging can actually make the output worse.
