LOL, and so some new fangled laser system yet to be proven is going to cure
all of our ills? Lets just say it will be fun to sit back and watch with
optimism for awhile. The early adopters can tell us all about it.
I am curious, we tout our rotary systems and our EFI over conventional
aircraft systems, yet for every wire we have there are two
terminations, how many of the wires hooking up our systems are critical to
keep it running? Got a number?, multiply that by two. Terminations are a huge
liability.
A mag has to be grounded out to make it quit. Not saying it is better, but
from this one angle it sure is simpler.

It's her last paragraph that concerned me the most. I spent 20 years
working with HID systems focused into fiber optics. Her last sentence says
it all.
I am not against innovation but I am very cautious.
She is
correct, except that word "well" has a very fuzzy meaning. There are
many levels of "well". Magnetos work well. Points work well.
Electronic ignition works well. Capacitive discharge works
well.....
