And if one were ONLY modeling a star system, this wouldn't be a problem. 
The problem is when you're trying to model something that has some very 
large-scale features as well as small ones (such as any scene on a 
realistic Earth); even geologic distances are huge compared to a 
building, let alone the petals on a flower.

There are compromises that can be made, of course.. but even so, the 
limitation is always hiding there, like a snake in the grass.
