[B]Point 1: I never once denied my ability to decern frame rate is VERY poor. I simply deny that it matters when you can't tell, as in my case.
Point 2: I OWN the original. Oh yeah, I played it too.
Point 3: According to IGN (since obviously I don't have the skill to determine it for myself), on the DC section of the site, the original was in fact just 30 FPS except during the racing mini-game, and occasionally stuttered in heavy load areas then too. Well, according to the SA1 review at the DC section of the IGN site anyway. I do remember reading an SA2 review a bit before that game came out that they were impressed that they managed to bump the frame rate to 60 FPS with no slow down.
Now, the 3rd point is fact. It's a fact that IGN SAID those things that is. Whether what IGN said is fact however is debatable. The point is that I can't really tell the diff myself. No reason to go on about it. I'm not saying a difference doesn't exist, just that I can't tell.
I must ask this, why would you force it down my throat? I'm not even trying to argue with you. I'm not even disagreeing with you. I'm saying I can't tell. Somehow however, I think I know you will respond saying "IT IS TOO DIFFERENT". Do not do that, because I'm not saying it's not, just that I can't tell. There is nothing to say here. Nothing. Just say "okay, you can't tell". Also don't forget the rude little comment about me being blind I know you will say, but nothing else is needed.
Sure Sonic Adv stutters once in a great while, but for most of the game it runs at a smooth 60 or so fps. The GC version is almost twice as slow.
Oh and ABF, even your precious Gamespot complained about Sonic DX's framerate. Here's a quote from their preview of the game: "The game's frame rate fluctuates quite a bit, which can be jarring." So it's those of us that notice these framerate issues that are normal, not people like you.
