Still not convinced the extra 16ms doesn't matter for response time? Try this http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/
See what your response time is in the best of situations, fixating on a big full color change with your finger hovering over the mouse button. I can't get below 245ms, nor am I very consistent, I'm old. Identifying something specific happening on screen and making a decision what to do about it takes a lot longer, that 16ms is negligible.

Those hundreds ms of your reaction time are what you can't reliably decrease, even in real life, but lag due to framerate always adds to them. 16ms can be little more than 6% for your reflexes, even less for more sluggish people, but they add EACH time you have to react, many times it can be little significant, but it's likely that it will be significant a few tens times per lap, and even if that additional lag doesn't always turn 1:1 into a penalty on your lap time, you can end up having between a few tens and a few hundreds ms penalties for each lap.

It doesn't add up while racing. You anticipate turns (and movements of other cars for that matter) You don't suddenly respond to them when they unexpectedly show up. When you're shaving off lap times, you get in the zone, it becomes like programmed behaviour. In the end you can almost do it with your eyes closed. That 16ms has nothing to do with setting better lap times.
