You misinterpret.  The setting "dist" is artificial.  Light, gravity, all 
other forms of fields vary only with the square of the distance to the 
source (1/r^2).  In reality, I can not make a light with a relative falloff 
that is faster or slower than any other light (other than a perfectly 
converged laser).  I can only control the brightness (energy) at the source.
