I'm sorry, I was only referring to delays in control mechanisms. Most
people can't tell, when they press a button or turn a wheel, whether the
device responded in 0ms or 70ms. I haven't tried this, but this is what
I've head from the FPS people (Carmack et al.) when they discuss network
latency, frame rate or what have you.
Visually, you're right. I think most people at this point can read
single-frame high-contrast text, especially once they come to expect it.
I'm sure everyone on this list would notice a single frame of black or
white, too, even if we only perceived it as "the game has some flicker."
