Personally, I don't think it was meant as a troll. I just think that it was badly thought out and presented. AFAICT they just cut and pasted the HTML code that the poll-site generated for them.

Yes, most probably. Well, there's only one thing to do now:

Does the poll at http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=234451&cid=190 93647 yield skewed results by linking directly to the yes/no votes and failing to show the choices in a way that makes it clear when and for what a vote will be cast?
 
  Yes, the poll is misleading
  No, the poll is completely fair
  Who cares about the damn poll?
  OMGPoNiEs!

I found that the majority of those things are generally not believed, but assumed... and even the word 'assume' doesn't necessarily describe what is happening. I think most people just don't think about it. For the most part, they just don't consider the fact that they are broadcasting a signal strong enough to reach that tower a few miles away.

That being said, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who also assume some of those things.

In your experience, which of the 10 dangerous "claims" is the most common?

It's just a phone with cool features, right?
It's stable, just like any other purpose-built appliance.
Communications are encrypted from end to end.
The connection's secure unless I use Wi-Fi in a cafe.
E-mails and messages are secure from prying eyes.
Using a mobile phone constitutes out-of-band communication.
I trust the integrity of data and applications on a smart phone
Information deleted from a smart phone is gone, right?
Spying on my smart phone is hard.
Abuse is minimal because the network and phones are constrained.
