I'm Just Saying: I Could Indeed Care Less

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I'd like to clarify something.

"I could care less."
You have some interest, however marginal.  You're saying that it is possible for you to care less than you currently do.  Your investment in the topic at hand is at some level greater than zero.

"I couldn't care less."
You are completely uninterested.  There is no way for you to care less than you currently do.  Your investment is zero, and the scale doesn't go negative.

I'm just saying.
