Not true:  specifying a size of +xxx means more than xxx blocks
at least for 4.2 BSD.

Administering a system with a lot of file systems, which change
frequently makes this a feature, not a problem.
The following one line shell will nicely build a list of files
over 1 Megabyte (2000 blocks).  We run it nightly and check the list
in the morning.
find / -size +2000 -exec ls -l '{}' ';' > /usr/biglist
