That is true, but what difference does it make? If one were to mention each and every possibility, it would be a very long post indeed.
Frequent top up charges make a small difference. Three partial charges of 33%, for instance, together make up one single 100% cycle. Charge cycles are going to be used up, no matter what the distribution.
