Why do people say "I COULD care less" when they mean they DO NOT care?

If you say, you COULD care less, it means that you DO care some...

when you want to say you DON'T CARE about something, you should say I COULD NOT care less...

let's say we measure our level of CARE on a scale from 0 to 100.
If you don't care about something, your care level is 0, so you COULD NOT care any less!

If you say you COULD care less, then you obviously CARE...
