Better methods than low discrepancy can be invented?

Fallacy 7   A general purpose method better than low discrepancy could be invented.

Counter Statement 7   Theorem 2.12 of Niederreiter shows that no better error bound than the Koksma-Hlawka Inequality exists. This means that improving on the maximum error means reducing the discrepancy.

A specific purpose method might have advantages however.
