The 4K issue may actually be the “soap opera effect”

Basically, we (over the age of about 25 anyway) are used to associating 24 FPS with “high quality” content like movies and higher FPS with cheap content like soap operas.

I'm in my 30s I associate 24 fps with jerky pans and unwatchable action sequences. And if we're talking 2:3 pull down in something that was never intended for theaters, I think, what a pointlessly detrimental affectation.
