No... I took a university level chemistry course and this was on my exam. I remember being surprised because I thought humans could see 60FPS, but we can't.

For a video shown at 250FPS, you just have a 1 in 10 chance of seeing a particular frame.

That is not true at all. In psychological priming tests, subliminal stimuli can be offered in 1 frame on a 100 frames per second framerate and people can still "see" the stimuli. An easier test would be to just plat a PC game like Half-Life 2 on 30 fps locked and 60 fps locked, you'll notice the difference easily.

I agree with your first sentance, and I don't think you can lock a game at xx FPS. It will dip, or show screen tear.
