Really, Jason? I know you dislike Apple, but I'm sorry, I think your insinuation is ridiculous.
I read Apple's article closely. Nowhere does it say a "deep discharge." Rather, they suggest you use the battery instead of having it plugged in (or off) all the time, i.e., discharge the battery and charge it back up. Moreover, most notebooks, Apple's included, shut off before the deep discharge to prevent permanent damage to the battery.
As for myself, I make sure to do a full initial charge, and then I use the battery how I see fit. I try to avoid leaving my laptop plugged in at all times, and that's about it.
