They don't even have to be looking at the phone or at any display. I saw
one idiot in whose car I was a passenger frequently eyeball two dashcam
displays to see if he was recording good clips.

that have no basis in fact when you bother to doublecheck the facts.

There's a dividing line you seem to be confused about, the one between science and belief, the two equally are important realms that are by definition mutually exclusive of one another. The latter tries to process issues that the former is incapable of resolving. To think that all that is is what we 'know' in the folly of many. I once read a perfect example of this when an astronomer (of all people!) said "we cannot find dark matter so it does not exist".
