    Please, let's all refrain from questioning the motives of other colleagues on the TC.  

    The question we have is:

    1) What is the risk?
    2) What are the possible ways to mitigate the risk?
    3) What method or combination of methods reduces the risk to acceptable levels?

    It seems to me that an application-level setting to disable animation or other sources of flicker is one way to mitigate the risk, and should be considered.
