Myth or fact about wear on cartridge?

[Fixxman32]

Is this a myth or fact? Someone told me that its just a myth that records that are warped (and causing the arm to move more up and down / sideways) do not wear down a cartridge / suspension faster than a flat record would do.

“If the warping is minimal, there will be no damage to the needle. When the warping is so bad that the needle jumps during playback, there is a chance that the stylus could become damaged or wear more quickly.”
