I agree that 180 degree looks the most natural and use it for that reason too.
Hate to watch people walking at 1/200th shutter time.
The youtube video link I posted, it's just so funny

It's more like, how small difference in 180 degree rule are visible to most humans.
I think, that I can't tell the difference between the range 1/40th and 1/60th (The range is probably even bigger for me

). It all looks like 180 degree shutter to me.
But like you said, a pro can probably tell.
The youtube video of 24fps vs 60 fps is a whole different topic, but THAT I do notice and I hate it in movies and series.
Don't get me started on settings like motion plus and fluid motion and other 200Hz-400Hz-800Hz frame/field rate shit on modern TV's

I can't watch that, it's too weird
One thing that puzzles me is how the 180 degree rule purist work around with NTSC 60hz and 24 fps and 180 degree rule.
Real film is 24 fps, so 1/48th
But for historical reasons, 24 fps on digital is 23.976 fps.
I know it, has to do with tube televisions and fields and frames in 60Hz, so I know why it exists.
But nowadays with all the LCD screens and most viewed on computer, smartphone or smart LCD TV's, there is no reason for 23.976 fps right ?
What do the purist use nowadays, 24.000 fps or 23.976 fps ?
