Battery drain is due to hardware use and only if you use things like GPS trackers, lots of data and talk a lot. then you will burn your battery.
But software doesn't drain power unless it is using some radio or hardware port in the device.
IE:
Heavy use of gsensor (play teeter or rotate your screen automatically).
GPS Tracker which needs to not only keep the GPS reciever and com port running but also has to upload data to the site that is showing everyone where you are...
So lets not put out false info here...

It most certainly can if it is doing any sort of operations or updating in the background to present an updated interface when the screen is refreshed/turned on even if the radio is not being used. CPU Operations == power consumption == battery drain. Run a bunch of mathematical operations in the bg all day and watch power consumption go up.
Both Titanium and TF3D were set to manual update of weather no BT or GPS except when needed. Syncing with Exchange as items arrive (work). Setups and usage are identical (light use).
Over 4 days with TF3D I couldn't make it through a work day without charging the phone or finding it around 20-30% battery at the end of the day. The battery drain was quite pronounced (2.1) whereas I've never encountered this issue with Titanium and can even stretch 1+ days out of it if necessary before the battery drains to 20% or less.
So you can cite false information all you want, but software can and does contribute to battery drain. TF3D is a piece of software that runs on top of the Today screen and runs in the background when the screen is off. Whether or not it's a TF3D configuration issue is quite debatable (TF3D doesn't offer me anything of use that warrants trying it any longer), but the fact that software can drain the battery without using the Radio or GPS is really not something other than fact.
