-size option

Hello, I noticed some strange behaviour of the ‘-size’ option of ‘find’, it 
doesn’t seem to behave like documented here 
<https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Size> , and 
i read this is the mailing list to report it. Please see below, i doubt it’s a 
bug… but does this make any sense to anyone? Thanks.
