Not true. Tests done with pilots, using flight simulators, found
that pilots could easily tell that 60 FPS wasn't fast enough to
be realistic.

Also wrong, although for different reasons. First frequency
response of human ears differs a lot for different individuals,
and tests have been done that found, for some people, even though
their response drops off in the low 20's of kHz it picks up again
in the high 30's of kHz. Second there is an unstated assumption
that if we can't hear sine waves above 20 kHz then there is no
perceptible information content above 20 kHz. This assumption is
known to be false. Time delays are perceptible down into the
range of a small number of microseconds, translating to
frequencies on the order of 200 kHz. These things have been
known for decades, but some engineering types keep repeating the
same bogus assertions about what frequency response is needed,
etc.
