When someone is ridiculing owners who don't know the difference between "off" vs "sleep" you probably want to use the correct terms when talking about "cellular radio" vs "cellphone".
Regarding the same interference... do you know that for sure? Have you actually measured/tested it, or are you just assuming? Do you know the broadcast signal strengths of data signals vs voice signals, and if/how they interfere with on-board avionics?
To get back to the original topic (instead of making fun of people who don't know the difference between off/sleep), the reason the FAA has a general ban on these types of devices is because the potential interference has NOT been tested/certified.
