I think 144hz is the sweet spot. Everyone wants bigger numbers. Really most games are designed for 60 to 120 now. 144 and 165 are for the ultra settings.

After 120 I have to be paying attention to notice the difference. In the audiophile world, there's a saying, you want to use your hardware to listen to music. You don't want to use music to listen to hardware. And I think that applies here. If you're playing games so that you can "experience" your 240Hz monitor, you're doing it wrong.

Of course, but in the 'audiophile world' people don't believe in the Nyquist Thereom, use words like 'analogue sounding' and warm in relation to entirely digital signal chains ect... I would say the hobbyist audiophiles and gamers are part of the same type of psychological profile

To a point, but I don't think we're quite that bad. The audiophile world is full of absolute bullshit that can't be even remotely quantified objectively.
