Instead of a bunch of theory, just look at the images I posted. The reflection coefficient of water, when viewed perpendicular to the surface, is 2%. You can see things reflected in water. Do you see anything reflected in that non-GC render? No you don't. Therefore since you should be able to see something, yet you cannot see anything, it follows that it's wrong.
The GC one is right. It shows the reflected objects at 2% of the luminance the original object has.
It's as simple as that.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
