I would suggest you reread what I said and the reference I cited. And, to be clear, I didn't call you a coward. I said to pretend to turn off a device but to secretly leave it on is an act of cowardice. I don't see another way to describe it. It isn't an act of bravery as you are hiding what you are doing. It isn't an act of defiance as you are hiding what you are doing. Your description of your actions is passive-aggresive. We all do it from time to time and need to recognize when we are doing it.
BTW if you read the article it will remind you that the rules below 10,000 feet are set by the government, not the airlines. It also states this is a matter of concern that outright danger. So, a few moments of inconvenience coupled with living together in harmony and consideration versus the self centered need to have what we want whenever we want it is the choice facing each of us.
