In addition to the "is at or below zero" language supporting the use of negative numbers, there's the simple statement in the previous sentence that a scored boulder decreases tower strength by 1 (i.e. that statement is not qualified by a phrase like "unless the tower is weakened.")

And since technical fouls add 1 to the tower strength, it wouldn't seem like a bad idea to get the strength down to -1 or -2, just in case a red flag gets waved towards the end of the match.
