The -size -nnnnnX check works like this:
How many units sized one X each is the file using,
a) less than nnnnn
or
b) at least nnnnn
Therefore -size -1M or -size -1k or -size -1c all match only empty
files.
A 1025 byte sized file uses two 1K-units (it has to, there is only space
for 1024 bytes in a single 1K unit) and will therefore not match -size
-2k.
