I don't know, I recognised the sarcasm right away, since the comment used quotes to distance the speaker from what was said.

If we're all formal all the time, it's going to be hard to welcome new people. It's important to make sarcasm obvious though (because it's difficult to express), so that newcomers who may not know that this is ridiculous can feel "in" on the joke, while learning something, and not being embarrassed.

Yes, I noted the quotes but the comment was still useless because it doesn't add anything really informative here. Also, further muddying the water (of course after my comment) was your sibling comment which says anything above 30fps is a waste of priority.
