Most people can see these effects if they know how to look for them. Most "sensitives" are folks who accidentally figured out how to see them.

It's really not at all clear that they possess some kind of higher clock rate for sampling optical images.

I've noticed this with some LED light fixtures in people's houses before and deliberately don't mention it because once you see it you can't unsee it. Particularly evident on things like running water in a bathroom.

I can deal for a few minutes, they have to live there!

Personally, I think this is like when kids start sticking their tongue through the slit of a Halloween mask until they cut it. It's just something you can choose to stop doing but people can't help themselves.

I agree (I replied to the other comment in this subthread).
