Once you read that and figure it out, it says that to minimize risk of
inducing a siezure in some folks, your blink rate should be slower than 2

there's no way to turn it off! But I realize that your request to do it via
conditional formatting would imply that there is some way to turn it off (by
entering some specific value).

Basically the answer "No" to your question, but there are other ways.
