You could just say "greater than N-1" to avoid this problem, so this doesn't seem like a very strong argument.

I think the better point to make is that the law will never actually produce a concrete N, preferring to leave itself vague so that it can criminalise things at a whim. This is what makes it a farce and why such notions need to be purged from the law.



How can you subtract 1 from data?


You don't. That was subtraction on a meta level. You name the largest non-data number instead of naming the smallest data "number".
