You've never been talking on the phone while stirring a pot with one

and wiping down a child with the other?

You've never read (part of) a book while watching a TV program and  
been able
to summarize both afterwards?

You've never played the piano while talking about something else?

Human *verbalisation* is fundamental, human *thinking* is not.

(It's not unboundedly parallel either.)
