Black Boxes for GA Aircraft...Good or Bad?

Got this article in an AOPA email about black boxes being installed in
the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. Do you think that all flight schools should
have these type of black boxes installed in their aircrafts?
Anything that helps determine the cause of accidents is essentially a
good thing. However, because of the cost of the black boxes and the
relatively limited budgets of GA aviators, I don't think that they
should be mandatory. Flight schools might more easily be able to
assume the cost, but I'm not sure I see the value of installing them
specifically at flight schools. The real mystery accidents are not
likely to involve flight schools.
'BLACK BOXES' SOON AVAILABLE FOR CIRRUS AIRPLANES
Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Cirrus would be mentioned in
connection with this.
