After all, these bouncing needles certainly didn't sneak in as bugs, the way they behave.

That's simply because you don't know how instruments work. And this is not meant to be an offence,it's just a friendly statement. If more than 3 people with experience in aviation tell you it's overmodelled,just take it for good,it's called common sense man..

Oscillation can happen on vacuum instruments (altimeter,anemometer etc..),but the RPM gauge is connected by means of a flex cable like in your car,such oscillations happen only if the gauge is faulty or your engine is actually oscillating in RPM.. you get vibrations,lots of them,but not oscillations..
