I agree with you, Mike. My understanding is that the different
compression settings of PNG only effect how rigorously (and time
consuming) the compression algorith is; i.e., that all PNG files are
losslessly compressed.
PNG supports indexed and grayscale color modes which aren't lossless,
however by default the PNG is entirely lossless
