 Ahh, but, speaking as a mathematician, this meant that you had a
NEGATIVE increase (that is an increase of -1 (or whatever the
appropriate number should be)).

-Oh, let's not bring mathematics into this. That's just not playing fair. 
Speaking as a layperson (Well, taking the stance of a layperson, anyway), 
increase means it goes up. Negative increase = decrease =/= increase, and 
we're measuring increase here.-
