There's no difference I can see between refusing to follow a general request and refusing to follow a specific one, but I suspect that there are government regulations saying that the attendant can't kick you off the plane until you have been given your own personal request.
I believe you are correct. From my understanding it is not a law nor is disobeying a flight attendant illegal in this instance. However what normally happens is they get law enforcement involved and get THEM to arrest you on some trumped up charge like disorderly conduct, assault etc. But since it is repeated so much in the media and gossip that it's ILLEGAL to "disobey" flight crews, the general public believes this. Perhaps our lawyer friend above could chime in on the accuracy of this?
