When that hiccup is only 1/60th of a second long, I doubt anyone would notice it if they hadn't been told it was there. No reviewers ever mentioned it.

Bumps on the road are also just a fraction of a second but you still notice them because it interupts the flow.

A physical bump is a poor metaphor for a mere 1/60th of second frame drop.

Again, if it's so noticeable why has nobody mentioned it until now?

I didn't say it's SO noticeably. It very well may go unnoticed. It's nothing unusual for games to not run smooth so why mention it? And as DF pointed out it has zero impact on playablility.

The problem is now that we know it, it will inevetibly be noticeable.
