The passenger was an idiot. If you are asked, you turn it off. It does not matter if it is the flight attendant or the passenger sitting next to you. No matter your position on the subject, the person breaking the rules is responsible for politely turn the device off when asked directly.
Yes, you are responsible for turning it off when the announcement is made to the plane. The entire reason we are discussing this is because there are those of us who don't. If you are in that category, you are asking for really serious trouble if you ignore a direct request from the Flight Attendant and then abuse them. We are the ones breaking the rules, we are the one responsible for being smart when someone calls us on our rule breaking.
