Since you can shift 3 or 4 times in 20 or 30 seconds that means they had their eyes off the road for a considerable time.

Uh,I didn't say anything about looking at the tach? In fact,imo,if you have to have the tach tell you when to shift,then you shouldn't even be in a car with a MT.That includes the passanger's seat and the trunk (<---joke)!
The actual concentration that I was referring to comes from having all four limbs engaged in driving,and not just two,like a ton of people that drive AT do.
Think of driving a stick like leaning how to be a good drummer.Sure,you can use only your hands to work the cymbals,toms,and snare,but until you learn how to use both of your feet for the bass and high hats,you'll never really be great.
