It will know nothing of a modifier that is redirecting and absorbing the light twice before it reaches the subject.

Why not make one with a bit of folded paper and tape and see how it works, before forking out $30 plus shipping?
I think you are right. I've read the reviews and they seem to be raving about it, but if paper can do the same for 29.96 less, why not?
