Make sure you're comparing apples with apples.
The unloaded voltage of a cell is irrelevant.
I've found it very difficult to get the unloaded voltage of NiMH below
1.2V. Discharge it down to .8V, remove the load and let it sit and
it will creep back up to 1.2V. But it's still dead and can't supply
much current.
A flash is a VERY high current device. Once the LOADED voltage gets
much below 1V, it's too weak for a flash. The ONLY useful voltage
measurement is with the intended load.
A useful measurement is internal resistance. Use a square-wave load from
1/2A to 1A. Measure the P-P amplitude of the cell voltage and use that
to calculate a resistance dV/dI. Try it at different states of charge.
Calculate the voltage drop from your load current and the ISR.
Multiply that by the number of series cells and it's easy to see
why high-current loads quit working long before the open-circuit
voltage gets below 1.2V.
I shouldn't have said anything about the voltage.
and you shouldn't have jumped off the deep end and used words like "lie"
and "proof"
It's not a lie and you disclosed no proof.

You have either a mistake or a serendipitous occurrence that you've
extrapolated to draw unwarranted general conclusions.
Unwarranted conclusions are your right. But people here are disagreeing
with you.
I'm unlikely to use old technology NiMH cells in an application
where I expect full functionality after two years of storage.
Repeating your anecdote is unlikely to change that.

The fact that I have at least one set of conventional NiMH cells that sat
for two years, yet still correctly powered a device is proof that what is
said about rapid self-discharge is wrong.

I made no mistake. And if something is said to be generally true, one

I'm not asking you to. The original claim was the NiMH cells repaidly
self-discharged over a period of several weeks. It simply isn't true.

No, it is proof that it appears wrong IN ONE CASE.

One exception does NOT disprove some thing said to be generally true.
It only proves it is not universally true.

Which is exactly the point.

The issue isn't whether you had the problem, but whether the problem is
universal. And in that respect, my single experience trumps the experience
of everyone else -- even unto hundreds of thousands of other people.
The original claim was that conventionally designed NiMH cells showed rapid
self-discharge -- supposedly several percent a week.
The claim was not that particular cells from particular manufacturers lost
their charge, or that cells of a certain capacity were subject to this
problem, but that NiMH cells lost their charge significantly more quickly
than nicads.
The claim does not contain the qualifiers "a few", "many", or "most". It's a
generic statement that applies to all NiMH cells. The lack of a qualifier is
equivalent to "all".
Here's an example...
"In the United States, cars made in the past five years are silver-gray."
Is that statement true or false?

In manufacturing, although we analysed outliers, we focused on how the
bulk of the population performed.

My first corporate employer gave me a health insurance card that
specified the amount of maternity benefit to which I was entitled,
even though I was always taught that the chance of a male's getting
pregnant is zero.
