But saying that the act of physically putting a piece of media on a shelf makes it go bad is ridiculous.... the stuff is on a shelf in the store when you buy it.

True, But in general, obviously some things have longer shelf life than others, for example, DVDR's will last longer than CDR's and CDR's will last longer than HD's, TapeDrives, etc....
