If you read the section on caring for lithium ion batteries at:

you'll see that they agree that shallow discharging cycles make a difference, as you say, but not nearly as much as you describe. It might be enough to throw my calculations off by 20% or so but these are all ballpark numbers anyway so I don't think that's enough to matter.

And if you look at figure 1, the capacity diminishes with every charge; since the battery is (much) smaller, you are charging more often, so the capacity diminishes (much) quicker.

Stating that there are two main factors seems a little strange to me, especially for a reading site such as MR (and also that one of those factors is 1/6 the size.)
