Scatter, who used to read this list, wrote a nice article called 'Dangerous
Realism' that I have referenced above. He talks about the dangers in
making a mud too realistic. An interesting article and looks a few of the
problems with realism and just how realistic you really want to make
things.
Slowly sifting sand in the sandbox,
David.
PS The imaginary web server appears to be down right now, it should be back
RSN I hope.
