Not my experience
As I have said at least 20 times before. In the 8 years (of daily use) that I have been using a resistive stylus on a tablet I have never experienced any damage to the screen.
Every resistive stylus I have used has had some give when you apply pressure to the screen. Wacoms do it too. This is how it determines line weight and it would help prevent applying too much pressure on the screen.
All of the stylus nibs have been replaceable because they do wear down ove time. The nibs usually last 1 year for me.
There is no power (no batteries) in the resistive stylus.
The only stylus that I use that requires batteries is in the n-trig stylus for my Android HTC Flyer - but that's a different technology.
Repeating the same thing over and over again does not make it true.
