You've tried debunking it, but now try explaining it. I don't know how or why. Like I said for all I know I've had 3 crappy batteries and one good one. Who knows. What I know is, what I said is the truth. It is the truth for many people on here. Why do you think there is no consensus about battery life and charging here yet. Everyone's experience is different. I've had 4 batteries, 3 I've treated one way, one I've treated another and gotten 2 totally different experiences from. Feel free to believe what you want, I know what's working for me now and thought it was pertinent to let others know my findings as well.
BTW, it may only take a minute to drain enough for 20 minutes of recharging but like I said, I've done it the INSTANT it turns green. Not once, NUMEROUS times. I've done it where you turn the phone off and on leaving the phone plugged in the entire time as well. Regardless of how you do it, or how soon you do it (in my case immediately) it is red after it is green.
complete placebo effect... usage is impossible to measure empirically. Radio strength alone as too much affect on battery life.
Although I don't know if its a issue for Li-ion batteries, there could be a fairly large difference in charge capacity of the old NiCads. When I did RC racing people spent large amounts of time matching cells of like properties.
I would MUCH more likely believe you had 3 decent batteries and one good one or 3 bad batteries and a good one then your charging method had anything to do with it.
FYI- Every scientific test I've seen run states the further you discharge a Li-ion battery before recharging it, faster you reduce its capacity and life.
