I think that there's a difference between looking busy in the sense of 'he is doing something,' and looking busy in the sense of being 'ready to engage with other people [bosses, customers, etc]'.
I can easily zone out while looking busy by way of cleaning/sorting, and as long as I am with interrupted (or voluntold to be sociable) I can work quite happily under my own motivation for a long while.
(Granted, I also usually have at least some autonomy, and can see the progress I'm making...)
