There is also a different quality of processing. Textunderstanding and danger deciphering of signals.

Sure. Have you ever listened to music while simultaneously writing a comment on hacker news - and managed the split cognitive load effortlessly?

No, have you ever assumed that everyone surrounding you is exactly the same because mirror-neurons? Because i never did that- i just know..

Yes. I have never seen any system (planes or elsewhere) that splits multiple voice communication inputs so you hear different streams in different ears. How would that be different (let alone better) than having both streams in both ears? It's not like your brain can process each ear separately.

I can count while reading and it's fairly easy The sentence below will be written when I'm counting to 60 Let me try counting while writing, it's hard with tons of mistakes and typo (like switching count with write), it's also demonstrably slower with this whole sentence taking more that 60 count. Verbalizing the count is way harder and I need frequent stops to gather my thoughts

counting aloud or in mind

the former is harder but still doable
