It would benefit to be able to look at the action going on the screen, move your head and look elsewhere to get the info?  Is it beneficial, for example, to have an inventory screen up and the action go on at the same time?

You are acting like you have to move your head 5 meter down the screen. Yes, it would be beneficial to just look qickly onto the map and make a sign so that you can follow it on the mini map on the TV like on GTA. WW HD solved this pretty good. When dragging an item to a button on the screen you see it also on the TV. Pikmin 3 is another great example. You have the area map on the gamepad and can navigate through it so quickly it doesn't hinder you at all. The gamepad is just perfect for Zelda, RPG's and Open World Games.

Also the gamepad isn't only good for providing a more seemingless experience. You can clear up the hud. Faster wrriting.It makes navigation in menus or browsers a lot easier and quicker.  Off TV play. Making drawing on a home console available. You conveinced me that you just don't like the pad. I have no problems with that but don't try to downplay the value of it.
