I'm not sure I buy that it helps the audience suspend their disbelief.
If it did horror films would be filmed at higher frame rates for extra scares.
Humans have a long history of suspending belief in both oral and written lore. I think that 'fps' may be as functionally equivalent as the santa clause stories, fun for kids but the adults need to pick up the bill.
Suspend disbelief in that you can't see that the punch never actually landed, or that the monster that ran across screen was actually a man in a rubber suit. When something happen fast at 24 fps it naturally blurs. It is why shaky cam, low resolution footage can be scary. Direct to VHS horror movies could be scary because you could only barely see what was happening allowing your brain to fill in the gaps. At full resolution captured with a high speed camera everything looks a bit silly / fake.
