It really all depends on how well the algorithim models emprical data... it won't be 100%. That said, if it does better than a human staring blankly at a dipstick, it might be useful.
However, if you can't even select something to indicate dino vs synthetic, that adds in a lot of potential error right there...
I'd like to see how they developed the tech, the theory underlying the model, and how well their predicted values map onto empirical UOA's for a given oil, but my first blush response is it's nice idea but an even better gimmick.
