so the real upper limit is 1000 frames per second.

This is basically the same misconception just kicked further down the road. The truth is that the human eye simply does not see in any way similarly to the way a camera sees and can't be compared. There is no upper limit.

There certainly is a limit. The sensitivity of light-sensitive cells is finite, the speed of transfer through the optics nerve is finite, and the speed with which information can be processed is finite.

Furthermore it needs to be synced to at least some extend, so information needs to be discarded to limit noise, echos and ghosts, not unlike how VSync limits what can be displayed.

It's more advanced than that, variable and individual, but there certainly are limits. I doubt that the "eye framerate" could go over 1000 fps in any way other than noise.

There is not a limit in anything similar to framerate.
