I imagine you think you are making a point here? Perhaps, I need to clarify my position some more. I am not really talking about whether you should or should not obey airline rules on turning off electronics. I am saying that the rule itself needs to be justified based on empirical data.

Personally, if someone, either cabin crew or my fellow passengers ask me to switch off a reader, I always do, as I don't think the argument is worth it.

Nonetheless, I still feel that the rule itself is wrong and needs to be questioned. Are you saying (like lots of politicians seem to do these days) that the act of questioning a rule/law is itself wrong?
