I think the negative vibes are coming from people who, like me, have had images unnecessarily ruined by this banding. It rubs me the wrong way to hear people try to minimize a problem that's very real for me, a photographer who also has max ISO set to 1600 on his E-M5.

1600 ISO, no shadow-pushing, plenty of banding = a ruined image that might have otherwise turned out quite nice.

I have scrutinised this image for several minutes and I cannot see any banding.

What should I be looking for? Are they horizontal bands, vertical bands, thick, thin, across the whole image or just part of it?

Sorry, but my eyesight may not be as good as some, and I need some help to see the bands you are referring to.
