techno/scientific skills we modelers have. cool.

Jim is correct -- I spent the last 10 years of my career studying driver
distraction (for the FHWA) in a driving simulator.  I have said for a LONG
time, that eyes-on-road and hands-on-wheel (with the "hands-free methods)
does NOT mean mind on-driving-task.  I have used the van Putte method, and
it WORKS.  People can NOT multitask, any more than a single-core CPU can,
and while one task is swapped out, it task will suffer, no matter how short
the swap-time is.

Keeping 'eyes on airplane' is of little benefit when the brain's
concentration or thought is elsewhere. The distraction incurred trying to
operate a remote devise will likely outweigh the benefits, at least for many
of us willing to admit it. I find writing numbers in a line along the edge
of a clipboard to be the least distracting.
