Can you see how it would affect a multi-megawatt transformer or multi-thousand HP industrial motor? Mega-VAR power factor correction system? You know, something that has many, many lives depending on it?
No, please explain. Do you really think such a minor change in frequency would have such a dramatic affect? Please, post some numbers for me to consider.
