No problem, nothing's easier than that :-)

You've already mentioned some quite interesting keywords: simulation, 
relativity, interpretation, and, of course, 'nice images'. One could add 
the term 'abstraction'. I'm sure you've already thought about that, too. 
Probably there's not one evidence, but many, and each one depends on the 
situation and the correct mixture of the above terms. (Isn't that concrete?)

I could write more about those nice images, but this is not an artists 
forum...

One general interesting point about Radiance is that it is often applied 
in some sort of 'interface' position, means where science/technology 
meets architecture, ecology, ergonomics, PR & marketing, design and all 
the rest from every day life. And its important to be aware when a 
border is crossed, and not to stretch concepts from one world too far 
into the other. I can understand your concerns that this topic might 
get lost sometimes, on the consultants side as well as on the clients 
side. On may apply the well known cynical saying from politics: every 
client gets the consultant he deserves..
