All I'm saying is that when you have a rule that people "know" is silly, then they'll quietly work to thwart it (ie: just put the device in the seat pocket without turning it off) which means that the rule system is actually encouraging people to pick and choose which rules they'll follow.
The point being that having people pick and choose which rules they want to follow can't do anything other than decrease safety in the long run.
