the validation shouldn't cause too much lag since game needs to sync up the game states anyways, which is an operation that is inherently way more expensive than any validation anyways (since each frame of the following game states need to adhere to the game rules anyways, there's already inherently some form of validation). It's more about not trusting everything the client says the game state should be.
