Saying it's been proven here, is not proof.
Saying it's been talked to death on the Desire forum, is not proof.
If HTC repeat the same advice verbally and in written materials, really, that's the same thing, isn't it?
Your evidence amounts to hearsay and exactly what I said by repeating false information doesn't make it true. You might want to address this issue if we're going to have a debate.
Let's start here:

I'll acknowledge that they say the battery should be charged with the device off to prevent a parasitic load confusing the charger. However, that parasitic load prevents the charger from seeing the current drop, thus charging it further (not a good idea).
Over to you to explain how your technique "calibrates the battery". First start by explaining exactly what you mean. So far I understand it to mean that it affects the total charge capacity of the battery, which would require an increase in charge density of the polymer substrate. Maybe it's some reversal of the aging of the battery, but since it's basically just charging, I don't see how it differs from "normal" charging.
