Your arguments based on what might or might not be
going through my head are equally useless, IMO.

Cuz frankly, in terms of what's going on in my head,
the phone is no more significant than any other fact
or stimulus.  I'm far more likely to be affected by the
scenery, the terrain, the weather, my state of hunger,
hydration, digestion, how well I slept the night before
-- etc etc.
