If it does not decrease, it automatically increases ?? What happened to the "stays equal" possibility ? Do you exclusively use ">" and "<" instead of "=" in your math too ? Maybe the increase is zero. Oh wait, it could even be negative, right ? Just as with probability. So it possibly has an increase of, say, -0.5 ? (see how easy it is to confuse people ?)
