Unfortunately, not true...
Early in the evolution into displays (CRT in those days) there was a great deal of concern on pilot and co-pilot fixation inside the aircraft.
In my community we had two controlled flights into the aqua because the junior person in the left seat, the Aviation Tactical Officer (ATO and also a pilot) running the mission would be behind and the senior person, usually the pilot in command, would lean over and try and help in order to get the aircraft back in the game...forgetting the part about driving the bus.
Think cell phones today in cars.
Sad but all true
