Why is there not more Loss circulation in IWCF, Wellcap IADC training programs etc?

As wells become more complex, deplete, and obviously more challenging. (DW, HPHT, ERD, MPD/UBD etc etc)

Plus we know the evident and physical facts and figures that lost circulation and the viscous loss/gain circle brings to drilling and working over wells etc.

and as we search for wellbore strengthening, bridging, stress caging material to prevent vs cure our forecasted problems (where it is from this source that kicks often and evidently result).

With more than 200LCM products on the market and where often only a select few actually work on the applications we need them for.

Why oh why is this subject not dealt with in proportion to the reality we face in competency based assessment programs?

Views, comments, thoughts, facts and figures, success, failure stories, all appreciated. 

regards,

Peter.
