Can the ECU be damaged by reflashing it too many times?

I remember something about flash RAM having a somewhat limitted number of times that it could be rewritten before it goes bad, and it seems like that limit was about 1000 times. Is there any truth to that, and would it apply to our ECU? Judging by my archive of previous calibrations, it looks like I've reflashed my ECU over 500 times in the last year. Should I be worried?

The endurance is in the tens of thousands range.
