All cameras use shutters, and are therefore operating in a different way to the human eye. This is one point where film evidence does not aid an argument, which is a real problem as the majority of visual problems are solved through images and film. While your second video in that post is very close to real life, shutter effects are still very visible. For the record, unless they eye is moved the propeller should appear to be invisible, when your eye moves from A -> B your brain takes the image your eye sees when it reaches B and replaces your memory of the transition with that image, this is why if you look at a ticking clock it often seems like the second hand takes a long time to keep ticking. It's also why rotor blades and fans appear frozen when you look towards them.
