Because it would be a pretty stupid thing to do, and Apple would be
found out if they did it. Apple aren't stupid, and I haven't heard
anybody[1] seriously suggesting that they are selling new laptops with old
batteries. 

You should also look at the previous messages in this thread to see
exactly what I responded to - the first was "Electric Comet"'s statement
that battery lifetime is unrelated to use (which is untrue); the second
was his conclusion that, since he was wrong on that, Apple must be
selling new laptops with old batteries.

Facts and logic do not seem to be strong points with "Electric Comet".
