Jim,
I printed a few a year or two ago. One was at 3200 ISO and one was at 800 ISO.
They were 8x10 (which is bigger then most print anyways) and to be honest, I could not tell unless the image was mere inches away from my face.
That was one reason I pretty much stopped doing noise stuff to my images a year back, just wasn't worth it
Ya, there are two major reasons prints tend to look less noisy than what we see on screen
1) screens are additive light, which means they emit light. LCD screens especially tend to have bright blacks, which makes noise more apparent than something that is subtractive light (where the source emits no light and instead needs light to bounce off it in order for it to be visible) such as a print. This accounts for a huge difference
2) prints, be it inkjet, giclee (french word for inkjet), thermal, etc, all have bleeds. This is why they mention sharpening for print differently than sharpen for web. Basically print bleeds will reduce sharpness. And this bleed mostly affects thin edges and. . . noise.
Ok back on topic:
Like Paul said, John put in the work. He has skills yes, but they are honed and crafted from years of experience. Talent is great but it has to be put to work to get somewhere.

My usual combo D3 + 200/f2 would have been ok except it was too tight. Luckily the newly acquired D3s arrived day before I left and figured it was time to give it an acid test by slapping on the 70-200 (I was really missing the Nikon equivalent of Canon 135/2).
