3. Wheels - hehe, try to observe wheels in natural, sun light. I guarantee, You will not see this effect, no matter, how hard You will try. You can only see it on tv/monitor screen or when using strobe light. It is NOT the eye/brain, which slices the reality to frames.
Aaaghhhhh this is a war!!! ^_^
Agree with you in your 2 reasons given above, it\'s true a camera is used, so you can say i used wrong examples.
But, in the third case, come on! Just look at the wheels of the cars when you\'re in a highway, you\'ll see that; at some moments it will seem to you that the wheel turns backwards.
Anyway, this discussion is pretty complex, because it reffers to how the brain interacts, and that, for sure, it\'s still pretty unknown.
After all, we can all share our thoughts, but, mine is, that the brain can\'t be working \"in real time\" with the images that the eyes are sending it; hey, that\'s a lot of data processing. We can adventure: you say the eye sends data continuously to the brain (because eye, as you say, is analogic) then perhaps the brain, every given amount of time, takes all the images from the \"buffer\" and compones the image as a ponderation of the ones in the buffer; but then it\'s only that image what you see. I keep my theory.
I\'m using a tft monitor, and i changed to 60Hz, i honestly don\'t see the screen blink. I\'m under 75Hz normally and the screen doesn\'t blink to me.
But, again, it\'s a too specialliced conversation; I\'m not the right man.

But we\'ve been mixing some concepts, one is the blinking thing, and the other is the feeling of smoothness.
Some of the links given, threat the human eye as the top of the top, well, we\'ve to be proud of what we have, but, for sure, we don\'t distinguish ourselves because of our eye capability, but for our brain; yes, although some discussions might make think the countrary

There are lots of things we can\'t see, but we know that exist (i think it\'s called infrared and ultraviolet, so we only have a piece of visible spectrum)
That reminds me of sound, it\'s said that we can hear from 20Hz-20KHz, in fact that\'s what CD uses, it records the information at 40KHz (well, it\'s a number beyond that to make it hard to copy) and we really enjoy the experience of a CD, at least, I don\'t hear anything missing. Of course there are the ones that buy DVD-Audios, and expensive speakers that claim to go far beyond, but, honestly noone hears a tone at 30KHz. Perhaps not even at 20KHz

Again, the topic is very interesting imo, but still too complex, at least, for me, as to claim for a big truth.
Anyway, there\'s a sentence you said, and yes, this is almost looking too at the word you said, but, well i feel I\'ve too (*evil face*) \"Retina cells don\'t send the whole image at the brain simultaneously at the same moment\"
Well, in that sentence there\'s implied the meaning of discrete=digital, if they don\'t send it at the same time, that means that there are fractions of time, where some of them are inactive, that is, not capturing, so then, it destroys the analogic term.
But then, back to the topic, now the server is running again

see you in game, it seems noone\'s really interested in this

TOPIC:
Verrliit, you can submit that petition to the bugtracker whenever you want, after all, Androgos seemed to want that petition handled by himself.
