Yes, maybe the question is wrong - it's not about whether or not we multitask. I can't easily occupy my consciousness with multiple tasks, but I can let my unconscious mind handle something (and interrupt my conscious mind when it needs to - e.g. when a car is swerving out of control in front of me) while I perform something with my higher levels of consciousness.
