maybe, as ninjacolin describes, you have to stand up once BEFORE you fall down.
So, in fact, to end up standing, you MUST stand up one more time than you fall down (unless you assume that everyone starts out standing, which they don’t).
Is that what the proverb means? Not necessarilly… but the math isn’t wrong.
