You're correct that the brain fills in a lot that isn't there, making you think your vision is a lot better than it is. It doesn't change much, though, mostly it fills in gaps.

10Hz? Simply not true. Fighter pilots can identify aircraft shown on a screen for 1/250th of one second. Regular schmoes can see the difference between 30Hz and 60Hz video easily.

I am not arguing about pixel count of a camera vs the center of vision of human eyes.

I'm saying that... Nevermind. I've already said it several times and apparently you have a PhD in all things vision.



Being able to recognize aircraft on a screen for 1/250th of a second just means the human eye/brain has persistence, not actual useful 250Hz bandwidth.
