I agree with you. I've certainly been a bit clumsy and overconfident when I wrote the part about printing it and not seeing the noise. My whole comment was more about highlighting the fact that that taking pictures with high ISO settings is not always synonymous with blurry, noisy mess and that modern sensors handle that much better than what I was used to.

No question about it.  Back in my Canon xxD days, (particularly early on), I seem to recall anything shot at ISO 1600 to be a bit of a mess and not a real comfortable setting for shooting anything that you might plan to print large (particularly if you wanted to render fine detail).  That's changed a LOT over the years and I'm willing to go to ISO 1600 now without hesitation, if necessary, and even higher with a bit of PP work.
