        Seems to be a very counterintuitive way to use it. To me it sounds very wrong even if it is technically correct.
        You are basically saying the opposite of what you mean.

        From your link:

        Tony can’t boil an egg, much less cook dinner.

        This is the way I’d expect it to be used. Where it actually means less and not more.

          The usages seem the same to me 🤷. I do agree it’s not super intuitive, but I didn’t invent the language!
