I would say belaying is a bit like driving a car. Everyone should have two hands on the wheel, pay 100% attention to what is happening on the road. Never talk on the phone, eat a sandwich, change your song, talk to a passenger, fuss with the baby in the back seat, oogle the pretty chick on the sidewalk, etc.
Is that the reality? No.
Learn good habits and stick with them. On the other hand, don't be afraid to not accept belays from belayers you don't trust.
