It is not merely "an article posted on the internet." It is authoritative and tells you the same thing as what Li-Ion studies have all shown.

After a few weeks your battery in your Centro and in your 800W can hold a slightly lower maximum charge than when you first got it. It seems longer because you played with your phone a lot in the first few days, and if the battery life was very low compared to the previous handset (a sure thing on an 800w), after a few days or weeks you got over the shock. The battery didn't, improve, it can't. There is no such thing as conditioning a Li-Ion. The only thing that changed was your expectations and habits.
