Totally not true to me. I am into computers long time and everytime
I concentrate on some problem (with thinking, because can't another way)
you can talk to me, and I don'y even hear you. To get my attention
you'd have to pinch me probably - vocal stimulants doesn't do much :P
So sound of even dozen people talking just stays in the background.

I hated going to weddings.
All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next".
They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.
