I personally think that the visual attention of humans is attracted
by fast motions at the edges of the visual field. So when you notice
a motion beside you, you tend to look at it (an old reflex to protect
yourself from dangerous animals). That's the point why television
attracts your view also. So without flicker, nobody would look at
that old stuff in the telly anymore! That's why the frame rate of
HDTV is not raised.
