No, flickers. Flicker fusion is about whether you perceive a pulsed light as a constant brightness or as a series of individual flashes. That is not the same as frame rate - for example, on traditional film reel projections in cinema, each frame would be flashed three times to give 72 Hz of flicker with 24 fps, because flicker fusion for humans is in the range of several dozen hertz - hard to pinpoint an exact value, since it depends on a whole damn lot of factors, but light flashing at 24 Hz is pretty much intolerable.

Its relation with the ability to perceive fluid motion is also rather distant. Sure, both deal with the time resolution of the eye-brain system, but fluid motion starts somewhere between 10 and 20 frames per second and continues getting smoother well above 100 fps, though obviously with strongly diminishing returns at that point.
