The article, for one. And quite a few hours personal experience using electronics on planes without incident.

Can you point to any evidence anywhere that using a cell phone, laptop or e-reader on a plane can cause problems in flight?

No, but I didn't claim that I have it. That bit of back-of-the-envelope calculation in the article does not justify a claim anywhere close to 'verifiable wrong'.
