0.05 seconds would be 20fps.  There's no question people percieve vastly
higher frame rates than that.  Just set a large CRT monitor to 60Hz or
so, and you'll almost certainly be massively annoyed by the flicker.

Take a 60fps video, play it normally, then again with framestep=3
for 1/3rd of the frames (20fps), and tell me you don't notice any
difference...

And now for some technical details on eyes, resolution, and fps:
