OK, I'm buying the argument that from an engineering viewpoint an engine monitor appears more useful at ROP than LOP, and the further argument that it may not have been included in legacy aircraft because they didn't exist. However, I think you would agree that proponents of LOP consistently indicate the need for an engine monitor and that many engine overhaulers blame the lack of monitors for damage caused by LOP (although, I won't argue with your earlier view that some of these overhaulers are clueless on operation and such damage may be due to improper operation by the pilot rather than not having an engie monitor).
