I still contend that the vast majority of the public have no idea of when they are in a sprinklered building or not and therefore the above quote is a false assumption

When I talk to maybe 75% of people,

They want to know if the system will discharge like in the movies,,,

All at once

I agree

IBC 901.6 says remove a non-required non-working system

The standard that FM posted is just that a standard and a specific code usually trumps what a standard permits. The standard makes sense in the fact that only the sprinklers, alarms have to be removed.

Do you enforce the code or do you follow a standard

The system is considered removed if done in accordance with the referenced standard and therefore removes the “false sense of security” as noted in the commentary. One must also be reasonable in the enforcement of the code.
