Doubtful. From you? Impossible.

Irrelevant. You're letting your bias cloud your judgement, yet again. 

The EU regs require that a battery retains a minimum 80% of its capacity
for at least 1000 cycles. It doesn't matter whether that 80% is 8000 or 800
mAh nor that the 1000 cycles take two years or two weeks of typical usage. 

All scenarios are equally compliant.
