I've managed to preserve a scary amount of high-frequency hearing despite exposure to gunshots, recurring ear infections, and eurobeat; my reward for this is the ability to hear heinously loud coil whine that my laptop generates whilst connected to an aftermarket power adapter

Flickering attracts attention so there is no advantage to smoothing anything but headlights.

No, it's nowhere near that simple. Read the thread.

Err, it is. Flicker attracts attention, it doesn’t black out objects at that speed. For most lighting and displays you don’t want to trigger motion sensation, but indicators are fine with that outcome.

we’re talking about flickering at PWM frequency (not meant to be visible, is above 60Hz, but nevertheless becomes visible due to phantom array effects / incomplete saccadic masking), not the intended-to-be-visible (~10 Hz) on-and-off blinking. blinking is fine, visible PWM is not

But it’s irrelevant to some applications; indicators being one of them. So taillights are not something it’s an important factor. Driving is not supposed to be comforting or non-fatiguing. It’s about being safe. Not everyone can or should drive.

Gotta induce seizures in everyone, that'll improve safety in driving.

I’d love to see evidence of more than a one in a million chance of that first, pls. Visibility saves far more lives than are being suggested are being affected by this.

"evidence of more than a one in a million chance" I thought this was unsubstantiated claims to safety hour. You're proposing the flicker attracting attention is better than discomfort induced by it when we live in a world where driver discomfort and fatigue are real factors.
