I have a pretty lenghty article from a German magazine debunking this sitting around somewhere...but personally can't tell 30fps and 60fps apart either

The human eye can definitely see up to something like 240fps, but only blips.
However, consistent appreciation of 60fps is largely irrelevant, and is only relevant as a barometer of how SLOW the fps will get.

IE: 60 fps is good because at slowdown, then it's still likely producing over 30, meaning it's hard to tell slowdown is occuring.
However, a game that runs consistently at 30fps is fine. Most movies run at 24fps, as does tv.
