I'm pretty sure I read at least on of the NASA reports where the pilot in cooperation with the passenger positively identified that the interference stopped when the laptop was turned off, and started again when it was turned on.
- enraged_camel 13y agoThat's what we call anecdotal evidence. They hold virtually zero weight in scientific discourse, for obvious reasons.
- gnaffle 13y agoWell, this isn't scientific discourse, it's about erring on the side of safety. And it's not like it's easy to get any other kind of evidence from actual flights.
- enraged_camel 13y ago>>Well, this isn't scientific discourse, it's about erring on the side of safety. No. This is about security theater and nothing more. Beyond a few anecdotes, we have zero evidence that the practice of making people turn off their devices actually makes flights safer.
- lawnchair_larry 13y agoThe article only states that it went away when the device was turned off. Unless you got this report from some other source, the "started again when it was turned on" part was not the claim.
