Considering I have a device here that has an I2C camera and in firmware I can turn it on and off at right around 25ms, I’d consider betting quite a bit.

Instead of being snarky, how about you explain why this isn’t possible. Even if it was 100ms almost no one would catch that.

I’m not being snarky, and we’re not talking about some random device you have. We’re talking about the camera on a Mac. The bet is that you can’t turn it on and off so fast as to be un-noticeable because there is a noticeable delay between that light turning on and getting an image from that camera. So I’ll gladly take the other side of that bet.
