The human eye simply isn't that accurate. Even sillier is the TV manufacturers who are already going to 8K despite the fact that there's no real 4K content, no 4K players to play disc content with, and most people's download speeds / datacaps can barely handle HD. It's simply a case of using numbers to fool the public into buying a new TV they don't need.
