I totally agree. My quantifications of functionality are too simplistic.
There should be a third factor that quantifies functionality other than by
the number of independent signals and the number of independent controllable
parameters. Please don't take my simple idea too seriously.

I looked at the OMS-820, and it did remind me of the Serge slewing module.
Great idea, Tony!
