Look up any discussion about television broadcasting and you'll run into a mob of retards who don't know the difference between fields per second and frames per second, and repeat the incorrect myth that 480i television ran at 29.97 frames per second.
In reality, it didn't run at "frames" at all. It ran at fields, which each individually represent a unique chronological time-stamp. They are displayed by the television staggered one line apart in rapid fashion to blend together to make a detailed, very smooth image. And no, they are not each "half of a frame". Because they have different time stamps. They are FIELDS not frames. It's DIFFERENT.
