Note that a rate such as "x frames per second" doesn't mean it needs to be able to operate for the full second. That would be like saying you can sprint at "12 miles per hour" means you can run all of 12 miles in an hour.

Watching a 1 second video shot at 10 trillion fps would make for a very boring lifetime or 15. A 240Hz display would take ~1300 years to display all 10,000,000,000,000 frames.

"20 mph" (slower than the fastest 100m sprint, but faster than the fastest half marathon) would be more clear of an example.

That's irrelevant to the point.
The fact that "statement A does not imply statement B" itself does not mean "statement A implies statement B is false".
Just because the phrase "X can run at 12 miles per hour" does not imply that "X can run 12 miles in an hour", it does not mean the ummonk was claiming that no one can run 12 miles in an hour.
