I agree, but we can be trained to do it. By this I mean perform precise physical tasks while completely and constantly thinking about other critical tasks, alarms, indicators (visual and audible), and performing unrelated tasks which tend to be repetitive. Flying an airplane is doing this, so are numerous medical tasks, a number of military tasks require this. We can be trained to do it, those who can't don't make it.
