I don't believe that description of cycle count has ever been accurate for Apple hardware and certainly isn't for recent MacBook Airs:

Yeah it definitely doesnt, I have had and used dozens of macbooks and you cant ever plug in and out and see your charge cycle increase each time. I usually have my laptops 1-2 years and they rarely go above 300 charge cycles per year, and I usually dc my laptop 5-10 times a day.
