You're very right about compass vs multi-tasking

My wife can't figure out how I can manage to find my way back to where we need to be upon getting a bit lost (being able to keep track of what direction I'm supposed to go in until I get to the road I need), while I'm driven nuts by her assumption that I should be able to receive her comments while conducting another conversation on the phone

I'm guessing that back in hunter-gatherer days, women had an advantage if they could communicate with multiple other women while going thru an area looking for edible stuff.

Meanwhile the hunters had to shut up (so as not scare away the game), and still be able to find base camp again after chasing dinner over hills and thru the woods too quickly to keep track of directions

We've screwed it all up by assuming that men and women are alike.

God worked it all out pretty well. Now, we go messing with it...tisktisk!
