bad aliasing problems have to be seen in motion, i think that's on of those things you have to see to be annoyed of it. when i look at screens without anti-aliasing or only little i see the edges but they aren't really a problem, if you see it in motion with all the flickering it's very annoying in my opinion. 

but the explanation is good if people don't know much about it.

Yes! That flickering movement is so annoying.  Sometimes, you can see where someone forgot to turn it on one style of object in the background.
