Pythagoras:

Since you are being pedantic I will have to disagree with your pedantry.

If you've taken 3 men off, then you have taken a man off. No need to add words like "at least"

"and you haven't borne any off" is not needed since you would have passed the first test and not gone to the else

"if none of the 1) or 2) occurs" is implied by the use of the word "else"
