I wouldn't even try to defend OP, but I once heard someone say that if you have more than four apples, then it is also definitely true that you have four apples.

It's technically correct, like saying at least 4 people died from covid.

More specifically: "4 people died from covid" is also true

On the other hand, adding a single world like "only" in there suddenly makes it completely false. Language is fun.
