If you have less of something then there's more of it left. I think less usually balances out with more to make equal

The people who really most often claim "less is more" are those guys with, well, "less".

Kind of like all those guys with "less" who drive huge pickup trucks. I guess in that way, "less is more", but it really boils down to "more is less" in that case.
