I'm in the same boat, except that I recently discovered that in my advanced years (early 40s) I am now one of those people who are "sensitive to certain flashing light patterns or textures". It's not often that it happens, but every blue moon I will be looking at a screen and suddenly begin sweating profusely right before I lose consciousness for a brief bit. Most recently when that happened I passed out on top of my left arm and I was really concerned that it was numb for a good 40 minutes after the event. I called an emergency nurse line and explained the symptoms, and they assured me it wasn't a heart related event, but a reaction to the chaotic light patterns I was subjecting myself to. Edit: I never got around to my point, which was even though I'm part of the group who doesn't really care about refresh rate, it appears that my body might care.
