Anyone worried about keeping loaded mags in storage for extended preiods? No worries about fatique of the spring?

I've read about this a bunch and come to the conclusion that unless it's a really shitty mag it won't ever happen. You can't fatigue a spring unless you compress or stretch it past the point the range it's made to be used in. A fully loaded magazine doesn't do this (if it did the mag spring would wear out just from normal use) so it won't wear out from staying loaded. I remember reading about mags tat had been loaded since like WWII and shot fine.
