Fallacy 4
If you use regular Monte Carlo, discrepancy doesn't have anything
to do with it.
Counter Statement 4
The error bound on use of Monte Carlo is in terms of the Star Discrepancy
of the random set of points generated by monte carlo.
It doesn't matter how the points are generated, their Star Discrepancy
determines the error bound.
However, if the function does not have finite variation, then the
Koksma-Hlawka Inequality doesn't
apply.
