That might be asking a bit much - not from the PIC, that's easy enough -
from the person.
5 bits =3D 32 position values. Typical pot has about 270 degrees of travel.
270 / 32 =3D ~8.4 degrees.

Very much depends on the scenario. Some scenarios the exact value isn't as
important
as "a little bit" more or less, this would likely be fine. Any situation
where you have
some type of feedback to the user (LCD?, serial?) and they can see the
actual value
would likely be fine.

I would also recommend a small cap between the analog and gnd. Most likely
you
wouldn't need it on the bench... The real world is not the bench. :-)
