Maybe Andy's suggestion of having a system that "automatically" recognises parts of the body, and therefore how they function (?) is one answer. This was after one of the biggest breakthroughs in animation. In my work I've always tried to go the opposite way -- less information used more intuitively can often yield more human results. Too much objective data can only obscure what's going on within and behind the movement, imho.
