I could care less if Canon did not include video in their EOS Camera......sorry guys.....just not a video type photographer......but, my question is does "moire" affect still pictures???

Oh sure it does. If you take a picture with a close patten in clothes or a continuing patter in a building, check your LCD on the 2:1 scale. if it shows up, just change the angle of the picture. It is becoming less of an issue.

Yes, it most certainly does effect still shots from any camera. That's why virtually all DSLRs have a low pass (anti alias or AA) filter. This filter actually blurs the image slightly, eliminating moire, then the images is re-sharpened in-camera and/or in post-processing.
The new 5DS-R is designed for absolute maximum sharpness, without a low pass filter, but this would limit it's use to situations where moire isn't a problem, or any that does occur would need to be dealt with in some other manner. There have been and are other cameras produced without a low pass filter... the 60D-A, for example, was designed especially for astrophotography. There are also third party manufacturers who modify cameras, removing the low pass filter and replacing it with a plain filter.
Moire occurs in both still and motion photography (videography). It happens when a repeating pattern is aligned in certain ways with the pattern of the pixel sites on the sensor. It is more easily dealt with in still photography, than in videos.
The reason the 5DS and 5DS-R aren't recommended for video is actually because 50MP is way too high resolution. In the past Canon stated that they felt the max resolution for a camera that's also capable of HD video should be around 20 to 24MP. I'd expect the 5D IV to be around 24MP max, to be especially well suited to video, and capable of 4K (if anyone cares... I know I don't).
