Sure sure.  Rockets and such.  That is the simple stuff older games were
made of.  What I'm talking about is an articulated creature with arms and
legs and so on, all of them separate entities.  Our tolerance here is much
smaller since a disjointed knee is much more visible, even if the error is a
few centimeters, than a rocket that is off even by a much greater distance.

And all the nice (and hopefully accurate) dynamics simulation isn't worth
much if it can't be percieved (or can only be 'roughly' perceived) on the
clients.
