From other reading, it is more likely that the 1,000 is, in practice.
The 400 is likely to be the minimum lifetime under realistic (i.e. poor)
usage conditions; the 1,000 under near-optimal ones. There could also
be a factor that the former is until significant degradation, and the
latter until degradation beyond realistic use.
It's not actually relevant in practice, as other people have pointed out,
as few batteries will be used for that long before being lost, stolen
or abandoned (possibly because the unit fails and its replacement needs
a different size).
