Since at the time you wrote this I was the only one who had posted, I will assume you are referring to my post.
What I am saying is NOT what you are suggesting, that it would be detrimental to change the fluid.
What I am suggesting that it is not detrimental NOR beneficial, there is a difference. Change it if you want, but it's my belief that it is more or less a matter of fate, it depends on how close the tolerances are on a particular unit.
Here is a post I've copied a link to on different threads, keep in mind that for the most part (except my added comments), it is straight from Mercedes:
