He said it lasted the whole flight to San Diego. From where? Los Angeles? Chicago? France? Were you typing on it the whole time? Or did you just have it "On" in your tray? A completely useless answer that gives zero indication of actual battery life.

Then what kind of answer did you expect?
Did you really think the guy would sit there with a stopwatch, keeping track of what exactly he was doing with a testing unit on a plane trip? He didn't duck the question, he simply didn't have an answer.
Battery life depends primarily on the hardware configuration, battery, screen brightness and the actual usage. My iPAQ lasts way longer than my Zire72, even with WiFi on. Does that mean PPC is more power-efficient than PalmOS? Of course not! You're barking up the wrong tree here. Don't expect a software guy to give you any meaningful answer. Ask the hardware vendor instead. (And even then don't expect an accurate answer.)
