I turn my head.
And I've kept my mirrors adjusted as in b-man's link for the last 25+ years. I may have even posted about it here or at dm.
I saw the article in maybe Popular Science or Popular Mechanics. As a vehicle is leaving the range of say, the left mirror, it's on both the left and center mirrors. As it leaves the range of the center mirror, it's on both the center and right mirrors, until it's only on the right mirror.
But if you drive fast enough, it really doesn't matter where in your rearview they are.
It does mean you have to turn your head more when backing up. But I always have, just like I was taught in Driver's Ed, in school.
The other thing about mirrors, is they actually have to be used to be of any benefit, and that means regularly checked/scanned, even when not making a turning movement (includes lane changes).
