Sequential EVF "tearing" effect - reality or myth?

So, to summarize th results of this poll and rounding off the %:

• 50% of the "population" never saw the effect while another 30% saw it once in awhile but was not bothered by it; so at first glimpse, the tearing effect is a non-event for 80% of owners.
• About 10% were slightly bothered and another 10% were bothered enough to replace theirs cameras. The problem here, as was noted in some of the posts, is that the poll considered only present/past owners but did not include those who tried the camera before buying and decided against it because of the tearing effect. At least three posts explained just that. 
• For this reason, making a totally un-scientific adjustment to the results - some would call it fudging - I suppose we are looking at about 77% that are not concerned by tearing as opposed to 23% who are bothered by it, with 15% or almost one out of six people that just can't stand it at all. This is somewhat surprising as a) I haven't heard that kind of noise about this issue in the forum and b) if it was true that 10-15% of the population was allergic to this product, it would seem strange that Panasonic not only waited so many years to come up with cameras that don't use a field-sequential EVF (GH3/4, and GX8 coming to mind) but that their latest product, the much-awaited GX85, is still touting a field-sequential EVF...  True, a population of 60 is not a very good basis to get a true picture (pardon the pun) but it is still a sign that we should wait for more tests and user experience on the GX85 to find out if the FSEVF tearing issue is still relevant or not.
