RE:  The easiest place to detect flicker is watching wagon wheels turning.

Good Grief!  Haven't you watched any television in the last decade.

There aren't any more wagon wheels.  They've all become helicopter rotors.

well, since wagon wheels tend to appear to rotate backwards when
viewed in the real world, i sorta doubt ANY film speed could
avoid this problem.  remember that your vision system has a scan
rate, too.
