It's VERY easy to tell the difference between 30fps and 60 fps. I can tell when WoW dips below 60 easily, even if it's only to the 40's. 60+ starts getting harder to tell, but you usually can still tell until about 75-90.

Play a game at 60fps and then go log into XI which is capped at 29.9 (or somewhere around there). It is VERY noticeable. It's the difference of playing in the open field at 50+ FPS in XIV and then walking into a city.
Whole thing depends....
First, there is a difference between average frame rate and max frame rate......
avg 30 frames is playable for the most part while max 30 frames starts to be unplayable...
Also, have you done any double blind tests (that's funny) for frame rates?
I am a songwriter/producer...

Once there was this audio engineer.... One of the best in the industry.....
He was mixing a song form a major artist. He applied EQ to a guitar and started cutting mids and boosting the highs until it started to sit better and sound better in the mix.... until his assistant informed him that the EQ he was adjusting was actually on a track that was muted, so nothing was changing at all

My point is, when the mind knows something has been changed... the mind sees changes, even when there are none at all...
I don't think you could pick out the difference between 50-60 FPS and 70-80fps.... at least not with consistency....
My guess is, over a bunch of tests... you'd be 50% correct.... because they'd be just guesses...
Unless you're getting screen tearing from a 60Hz monitor and no triple buffering
99.9% of screens only refresh 60 times a second anyway
