They do have a sampling rate but it's probably very very high. The
speed of a  state change across a synaptic gap.

That isn't what's causing your prop blade effect. It's the "sampling
rate" of the reflection as the surface of the water is slowly moving up
and down (rippling) under gravity and/or air movement - this is the same
effect as car wheels on movies where the frame rate is interacting with
the frequency of a moving object, creating an optical illusion.

Otherwise, we'd all be queuing for upsampling brain ops!
