But the client didn't get the information from the other player; it got 
the information from the server.  And the client doesn't necessarily 
know what the server's rules are for sending this information.

Moreover, what can the client really do?  We can remove all dirty units. 
  But what if we're supposed to know about them, and the server doesn't 
send them again?  The problem is just the same as if the server was 
doing the removing, only in two places.
