Wow, those Tacit and Virtual 1 posts are geeky to say the least. I do have a question. He kept saying recovery wasn't all that reliable from an SSD (I am paraphrasing). Does that mean recovery mode doesn't work all that well or is it just about, let's say the government, trying to recover something we've deleted.? I have to assume recovery still does what it is supposed to do.

This is a good time to link to tacit's post in which he spelled out the life expectancy of a SSD in numeric, rather than "scare" terms.
Bottom line is that pretty darn near nobody will ever write enough data to a SSD to wear it out.
