I have no problem explaining it. You said "generally", except that still doesn't work in the context you used it. If we're talking about something that solves a problem 90% of the time, then sure, "generally" makes sense there. It doesn't solve it EVERY time, but it solves it most of the time. In the case of frame synching, having a higher framerate solves tearing 0% of the time. So saying it "generally" solves it isn't true.Well, I said "generally". I should've been more specific. What you call changing the goal post is me admitting I didn't express my thoughts correctly. Still not sure why that's not good enough.
I get what you're saying, you just had multiple cases of a poor choice of words. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's like this:
In your MIND, you were trying to say that the latency caused by vsync is worse for you than frame tearing itself, and having a higher framerate makes the tearing less noticeable for you personally. You didn't move the goalpost, because this is what you were always thinking.
In your POST, you said high framerates solve frame tearing, then backtracked and said they didn't solve it, but make it less noticeable, then said changing your stance isn't moving the goalpost (even though that's exactly what it is).
Point being, what you were thinking and what you were saying were two different things, hence the commotion.
Yes, I find it useful when people deny saying what they said.p.s. I can totally see you quoting my first post again hehe
