Could you provide a verbatim quote fo that? It should not say so in the
manual.
-------------------------------------
Numeric arguments can be specified as
+n for greater than n,
-n for less than n,
n for exactly n.
[...]
-size n[cwbkMG]
File uses n units of space.[...]
-------------------------------------
Any non-empty file uses at least one unit of space and therefore will
not match -size 0X or -size -1X, no matter what value of X.
