No, it's is good to know for sure, one way or the other.

Personally, I wish you had been right. It would be hard enough to balance the game on stats, without having to worry about quantifying the effects of animations.

And maybe I am alone on this, but I never see the animations. I guess I am jumping the view around and playing too zoomed out, but for me it is as if the animations don't exist. (I have the same problem with Dawn of War, which has great death animations, but is too frenetic to watch passively.)
