Agreed. The resolution on the RPM sensors are so high now that they don't need even a quarter of a rotation to detect the RPM. The computers are fast enough to control the motor's fuel and air to some serious precision. It's actually very impressive. Something as clumsy as a combustion engine with less than predictable fuels and explosions can be controlled with such automation... Very cool technology.
