It's tough to see other aircraft by rapidly moving your head - you
need to stop and methodically scan areas of the sky.

No disagreement about the need to keep looking around at all times.
But scanning, like just about everything else in flying, is a skill
that needs to be taught, learned, and practiced to be effective.
