Facebook has conflicting information. Some of its help pages give the old instructions that don't work anymore. And, as is sort-of explained in one of the comments above, even if you hide your list from everyone on Facebook, it is still visible to anyone NOT logged into Facebook.

This is a major security issue. Read the story of Maziar Bahari, a reporter for NEWSWEEK who was detained and tortured by the Iranian government. One of the first things his torturer did was demand his Facebook password, so he could have access to his Friends list. Thanks to Facebook's privacy change, the torturer could simply have looked up Bahari's profile to see his Friends list.
