By the way, suppose the IRS changed the 1040 to indicate your tax liability was "at least" the amount on line whatever. Imagine the uproar
I disagree, the statement is true, as written. The statement says nothing about sometimes being more than one. Since one is "at least one," there is nothing false about the statement.

I don't see an uproar over the 1040 change you propose, either. Anyone with brains is going to pay that least amount, and anyone without brains won't be reading their 1040s anyway.
