Hi,
In fact, I agree with you that the "study" I presented wasn't especially convincing or scientific.

I was lazy; couldn't find the one that I'd read about two weeks ago, much more compelling. After all, it was early in the A.M. and I was actually taking
turns between the coffee cup and the keyboard. (New emoticons required to properly express)
The crux of the several such studies is not that we
can't multi-task, but we do it at peril to quality results. (The really compelling one which I cannot cite now tested computer geeks.) I've been interested in the topic, since I'm really weak at doing it (except when playing my Hammond: 4 limbs, plus switching on-the-fly).
Nevertheless, I take your point that to be a decent pilot, you've gotta be able to do a bunch of things at the same time, and do them well. That's one reason that it fascinates me. If you don't, the ground's gonna get in your way!
