Seems pretty correct to me.

I couldn't care less literally means just that, so actually saying it to another person means you could care less, or you wouldn't have said anything at all. I'm not arguing the meaning of the actual phrase, I'm arguing the redundancy of saying it aloud, especially if you tell someone you couldn't care less, yet keep talking about it. I'm right about this.
