No, I think the point was the format of the instruments as seen on a PFD is not as conducive to subconscious comprehension. Drum vs radial scale, etc. Whether this is steam-driven, crt or LCD doesn't really matter.
Some of the bizjet & GA panels are doing a pretty impressive job with this these days. I'm sure it's an area that will continue to be refined.
Not sure what this has to do with standby instruments. They will still be there.
