If that is true, you shouldn't be able to see the difference between
72 Hz and 85 Hz on your monitor. But you can.

Set the monitor to 72 Hz and open notepad. Focus at the white center
and you should see flickering in the corners (side vision are more
sensitive to movement, less to colours). Do the same for 85 Hz. You
should see less flickering.

I even set Doom 3 to refresh at 85 Hz. Once you notice the flickering,
it itches till you scratch.
