Look, IS helps with camera shake. Not all action requires high ISOs. If you're using a 200mm lens and 1/100 shutter speed for example: A person standing on stage during a performance will have slight movements but 1/100 is fast enough for those. The shake resistance then counteracts shake for holding the longer lens at a less-than-desirable shutter speeds.

The example you give is spurious. The subject movement isn't enough to be a problem at the required shutter speed, so the camera stabilisation has zero effect on it, one way or the other.

"Ahh... But the thing is, these guys were no ORDINARY time travellers!"

In a static situation it would work. Your subject you could freeze by shutterspeed 1/100 for example or have some speed in the subject choosing longer speed 1/60 for example. The IS could keep the backgound free of camerashake with longer lenses in particular.
