I would disagree. The card is called Hand Limit 0. 0 is the numeral that
gets affected by X=X+1/Inflation. So it becomes Hand Limit 1.

I posted a reply to the BGG forum...
X=X+1/Inflation have no effect on Hand Limit 0, due to the use of "any"
and "all" instead of numerals like 0.
The "If you have 2 or more cards" translation, while admittedly confusing,
is ultimately irrelevant.
That's my strict interpretation -- but naturally, Andy has the final say
on how he intended those cards to interact, and each Fluxx session has
the final say on whether to handle that combo another way (house rules)

cards." No numerals (or even spelled-out numbers) involved -- you can't
hold ANY
cards, inflation or not. Additionally, "If you have 1 or more cards in your
hard, discard them immediately." That's the interesting part -- it becomes
"If
you have 2 or more cards..." However, based on the first sentence, you
can't
ever hold any cards.
