Well, as that pilot said, on some of the a/c the communications antenna is properly shielded. But since the antenna is on the outside of the a/c, over time the shielding material gets worn off. Let's hope you are not on the airplane that proves the FAA and the FCC were right after all. And, I repeat it doesn't matter how many times you left your cellphone on and nothing happened. It's against the law. Or, are you (as several on Flyertalk stated openly) one of those people who believes that your constitutional rights include ignoring any law you don't agree with? If everyone felt that way, we would not have a democracy, we would have anarchy.
