Tracing an action from live action frame by frame can produce accurate results, but it can make an action appear unnatural in drawn form. Sometimes, an animator has to exaggerate things to make an action look more natural. The degrees of exaggeration mainly depends on the artist's style or taste (does he/she want the animation to be as realistic as possible?).
Exaggeration can be used to empihize an action or an expression, for example, when a character reacts to something.
This is a link to a 1919 Ko-Ko the Clown film "The Tantalizing Fly". In this film, the character was mostly rotoscoped (traced from a live-action film).

This is a link to a later KoKo the Clown film which wasn't rotoscoped (exaggeration was used widely).
