Good point...
Watching anything but the ever-changing reality of where you and the machine are headed seems to me to be #1. Eye-balling your load, clearances from stationary objects, best path on turns, likely path of moving objects...etc....all these hand/eye/brain/foot/arm
tasks take away from the time to focus on or calculate what a tiltmeter indicates.
This is my feeling; however, I'm sure experience hones your operating skills and reflexes allowing IOR
(Instrument Operating Rules). As a tentative, call it paranoid, operator I would rather scout my topography with a walk-along angle indicator before traversing slopes of possible doom.
