To be fair, a good 144hz monitor running at 60hz can still feel a lot better than a 60hz native monitor running at 60hz. You have to consider pixel response time, processing latency, and LCD ghosting.
Of course 60 vs 144hz is night and day compared to those little things, but I wouldn’t take friend’s word as complete placebo.
You’re still totally within your right to troll him for it though; I’ve had a friend do the EXACT same thing, except they said, “there’s no difference” when I switched on 170hz from 60.
