Ignoring evidence that electronic devices can interfere with electronics on planes isn't common sense.
By the same token, the fact that some interference might occur does not mean that the interference is *dangerous*. If a passenger in my car uses an electronic device that causes my GPS to stop working, there may be annoyance, but there is no *danger*.
But given that there are several instances (discussed in the other threads) of electronics interfering with a plane's systems, even though there is no evidence that the interference presented any sort of real danger, it is easy to see why everyone involved would like some proof of safety saying anything goes.
