You misunderstand me - my whole point is that it should be left to organisations such as the AIAA /FAA etc to make these decisions. I have no objection at all if expert bodies choose to allow electronic device use after proper consideration - in fact I'd be delighted.
My disagreement comes when Joe Public asserts that they should be allowed because, for example, they "left their phone on once and didn't die so it must be OK".
Previous threads on this subject have been full of opinion asserted as fact from people with absolutely no expertise or understanding on which to base their opinions. My beef isn't with the conclusion, it's with the reasoning.
My reference to those with no education or experience in this matter was aimed at the unqualified public who seem to feel their gut feel has some validity, and not at any professional bodies and specifically not at the report quoted in the original post.
