But it isn't. We perceive pitch more like we perceive color than how we perceive motion. "Motion" in audio is well below the frequency of pitch. Same goes for video really, but in video the framerate has nothing to do with the color, unlike how the sampling rate has to do with sound frequency in (cough most) digital formats. If color in video was sampled the way pitch is in audio, we would have framerates in the high terahertz range.
