24fps Speed Limit

Critics always speak about our bias in favor of 24fps, as though it were just an arbitrary thing that we became accustomed to. Is it not possible that 24fps is the sweet spot that our visual cortex finds the most seductive. Is it not possible that flicker, dancing grain, motion blur, lower frame rate are candy to the eye? Is it not possible that 24 fps survived this long because of its inherent seductive qualities. Comparing film to video can be like comparing oil paint to gouache. Whatever it's virtues gouache doesn't have the same subtlety and seductive force of oil paint because it just isn't a supple a tool.
