David, is this a biased or unbiased renderer? looks unbiased.

What about caustics? I notice this and the diamonds never had any.

Pete,

I think they used to say path traced renderers were biased
but now days it seems they are a little of both, I dont know your asking a dummy.
I found this about Cycles:

Was curious to see if there was caustics on the
shadow side, so i moved the light to the side
and found some behind the apple and on the base
of the metal.
