Punch at a sheep grazing at your feet and the blow lands. A fist reaches about 50 cm from your eyes and a sheep’s back is about 95 cm below them, so punches at a low animal used to meet nothing. Now you bend and step in: both fists go the whole way, the view dips part of the way, and in third person your body bends with the blow. A punch thrown while you are pressed against an animal lands as a shove.
Tools close that last half step too. The axe steps in up to 80 cm, so a swing at a sheep 1.8 m away lands, and your view follows three quarters of the step, so the arm no longer stretches until its open shoulder end shows in the corner of the view. The pitchfork had no attack at all; it now jabs with the stone spear’s thrust and punctures. A jab lands 0.15 s after the click, the pitchfork 0.36 s and the axe 0.5 s.
Sheep also turn aside and step around you instead of walking through your body; that is proven in tests and not yet filmed. Still wrong: a sheep can stand inside a tree trunk, a fight with a biting wolf has not been checked, the pitchfork borrows the spear’s thrust in third person, and once in four check runs every swing in a new world was refused, for a cause not yet found.
