I thought people were just being dicks or flaming instead of debating by saying you don't read comics, but now I'm thinking it's true.
You should know better than that. I have read hundreds of comics and know most basic facts about the most popular characters. No one has read every comic. There are millions of comics. Reading 1000 of them and not being familiar with the ones you didn't read doesn't mean you don't read comics. I have over a thousand comics on my hard drive. I have posted scans many many times (I been a member since 2005). I have seen every comic movie and show in existence. I am a comic fan.
Perception and movement speed is not the same thing though. You were at error with your wording (asking me to prove "speed is always on" instead of "perceptions is always on"😉. You didn't confess to this error when I pointed it out and thus have been proven to be tilted on pride (and thus showing bias). You have to be humble and admit to your errors when pointed out. Otherwise, you are operating on pride and it would be hard to see things objectively.
With that said, speed of movement has nothing to do with perceptions. I can fly at light speeds in space with only human level perceptions. If the distance is big enough (in space they are) then I can avoid basic stuff like the Sun, planets, and large asteroids.
I like to see proof that Flash can increase his perception speed and lower it at will.
When someone has super powers then it is possible that their brains work differently than a human. Meaning, he can stay in sync while still perceiving things in slow motion.
Let's assume that one can increase their perception speed at will. Increasing one's perception speed is not the same thing as cutting it on. By default, there is a initial amount. Flash has not paid attention and was shot by a bullet and didn't get killed because his perceptions were always on to avoid the bullet from penetrating. The moment the bullet touched his skin he avoided it. Superman has casually talked to people and suddenly heard a gun shot from miles away and suddenly got there and stopped the bullet before it his it's victim.
There are many examples where characters are not doing anything or paying attention and something happens and they are able to respond very fast.
