The look of the function is documented and it blows my mind. I want to
know what they smoked. You simply cannot find such beasts in nature
short of quantum mechanics. I simply cannot trust that it was
optimized rationally by looking at the rendering results, because
optimizing in 8-dimensional space is not for humans and their eyes. My
head explodes when I look at this function and I have this feeling in
my mouth. I am scared and I cannot dare to touch it. God bless those
who want to tune it.
