60Fps - is it really that important?

See that's the thing. To me the difference is so obvious that it's hard to believe others may not see it.

I think this website does a very good comparison between the two: http://www.30vs60.com/bf4driving.php

Those comparisons were the ones I was thinking of when I said in my original post that I can't passively/visually see the diffrence between stable 30 FPS and 60 FPS. I tried to do a blind test when I first found the website and kept guessing 30 FPS was 60 FPS (perhaps because that's what my eyes are more used to).

This makes me think that my personal ability to visually dicern more frames ends somewhere in the 24-40 range (I did notice the diffrence in The Hobbit and do notice it on 60 FPS youtube streams that show the streamers as well)

It's not a lie, and I'm not decieving myself, I just honestly can't really tell the diffrence visually.

Now while playing it's another story, I can definitely 'feel' higher framerates, and for some games it helps a lot.

As someone else pointed out, 60FPS is something that more enhances gameplay than visuals. So being able to actually "see" it in a video is not so important when compared to feeling it when you're playing, which as you said is quite apparent.
