What is unjustified is to claim, as Jon has done repeatedly, that the overall net effect will certainly be a reduced lifetime - we simply don't have enough detail to make such a claim and to do so is misleading.
Sure, there are going to be uncertainties. But than why point out: "...things aren't, in fact, equal and shallower charge cycles, reduced peak charge levels and other design decisions could increase lifetime..."; this could equally well be applied to the Voyager, so again, all things being equal...
