Badly phrased but not wrong, this is the minimum frame rate for humans to perceive motion as supposed to a slide show of images.

The maximum frame rate we can perceive is much higher, for regular video it's probably somewhere around 400-800.

Maximum depends on what it is you are seeing. If it’s a white screen with a single frame of black, you can see that at incredibly high frame rates. But if you took a 400fps and a 450fps video, I don’t think you would be able to pick which is which.
