Could be, but in this case it may actually have real world implications.

LED wall displays are becoming more and more common, I’ve already seen ones that cause annoying reflections on road signs as they turn the retro-reflectors into a disco ball.

I’ve skimmed through the paper and I can’t understand how likely this to occur unintentionally in the wild but their strobing pattern doesn’t seem to be that aggressive so a combination of the animation itself on the sign and LED strobing due to PWM control can quite possibly cause similar interference.
