yes. _statistically_ it should work at least the advertised number of times.
after that, it may work, but they won't guarantee it. there is also a
nonzero chance that they'll stop working or degrade before that time, much
like that jar of mayonnaise i had in the refrigerator that my wife forbade me
to eat anymore after she decided it was expired.
