That's not correct. Three partial charges at 33% will reduce the life of the battery by significantly less than one 100% cycle.
Given that the way the Oasis will be used in many instances (with frequent top-up charges from the case) means that the absolute capacity of the device battery isn't crucial (the overall capacity will be dominated by the case battery), the designers could well have chosen not to charge the device battery to full capacity, thereby further extending the lifetime.
While it's perfectly valid to consider whether there might possibly be a reduced battery lifetime on the Oasis, it's by no means certain that that will be the case. Claiming it so assertively, and insisting that people of differing opinions "stay out and let those who know what they're talking about talk" is unhelpful.
