That is BAD.

You should only ever unplug the laptop when you are taking it on the road, or storing it for weeks.
Can you please explain to me the logic behind this i do not quite understand

if you keep a cellphone plugged in all the time, the battery does not hold near it full charge after several months. The same goes with laptops, and I have experienced this on many occassions which is why i tell ppl that use their laptops for prolonged periods of time to unplug their battery. I do not know about you, but these batteries cost a fortune. This is my way of babying my batteries.

by charging continuously the cells that are being discharged, is that not shortening its lifespan by many folds
