    Are you new to the internet?



    But seriously, expunging wrong statements, even if possible, is not entirely desirable. Also of value is the entire record showing exactly who was wrong, what their thought process was, and how they were proven incorrect.

    Back in the Nickel-Cadmium era, full charge cycles were indeed the best way to prolong a battery's long term life expectancy. Modern lithium based batteries are completely different.



    Note that apple is only explaining how to get an accurate battery percentage. They don't say that this is the highest priority. Historically, apple has recommended leaving laptops constantly plugged in. Although I'm not entirely sure what their reasoning was. It could be in order to maintain a full charge and prolong life. Or it could be for a balance of reasons which have to do with average customer satisfaction across a whole host of issues.

    Exactly. We're not the Ministry of Truth, nor should anyone want to be.



    Though Internet shorthand as a whole seems ominously like Newspeak…
