Not if something is spinning at the frame rate of the camera. Which is what the post is about. Then that object would appear stationary. Human eyes don’t do that, it would appear as a blur, and we would infer that the object is moving.

You've never watched an airplane propeller start up? It does exactly that, it appears to slow down, stop, go backwards, then it disappears.

I also see this a lot with car tires. If you watch a video of someone on a dyno, you'll likely start to see the tires slow down and then go backwards.
