So it appears that I narrowed down the cause of my Random Flickering- the faulty 20-amp circuit on the detached garage service panel (leaking 60 volts at some point between the breaker and the last outlet). Once I kill that breaker, all of my random flickering seems to have stopped (and that breaker will not be turned on until that branch is either re-wired, or a specific cause is found).
The electricity in your house works the same way. Air conditioners, refrigerators, water pumps, draw a lot of electricity when they first start up and you may see a drop in "pressure" when any of those items turn on:
Think of the electricity flowing into your house just like water flowing through a pipe. If you turn on a faucet only halfway then you will probably not notice a drop in pressure elsewhere in the house. But if your washing machine is filling (or your irrigation system kicks in, etc.) then you will see reduced pressure elsewhere in the house.
If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices. [links]
If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware. more

Why should this problem only effect conditions during starting? A motor with failed winding insulation is not only going to have starting problems it will have running problems too.
To test for this VD and resulting flicker to determine the source of the inrush, use a min max amp clamp and min max multimeter at the main service watch the lights(it may take two workers) and correlate to the meters. more
The problem here is voltage drop when the motor load starts up. The solution to the problem is to increase the size of conductors supplying the load to include service and feeders and/or increase the size of the source(POCO transformer) to a size that can handle the demand put on without dropping voltage too much it even if it is only for an instant in duration.
He had the in-laws over for Thanksgiving and his brother-in-law noticed it and said he needed to have it checked out.
He has a 200 amp service, the well and heat pump are on breakers at the service pole. He said the well is 1 hp, 120v 50 foot run with #10, heat pump 240v #10 about three foot run. He said that they have always dimmed when either one started. He has had it for 5 years and never thought anything about it.
The only lights that you could see dim was the incandescent and I had a hard time seeing that. I told him to keep his Bro-In-law away from the incandescent to prevent further brain damage.
