I quite agree on that one - as I said in an earlier post, we invented IHUMS in 1990 and it was a great step forward, but since then there has been no real progress (and in some ways, some of the newer OEM HUMS systems are not as good as IHUMS). It still behaves a bit like a research project with "black art" and "interpretation" being key concepts. It needs a complete rethink in terms of the usability to bring it into mainstream, but of course that takes money, which is never available (despite oil at $140) until after some people have died.
