This statement is INVALID.

It is invalid because when the result of subtraction is negative, it lies outside of the domain of non-negative numbers.

It contradicts to the definition of a system with binary operations.

According to the definition of such systems, the operation should be determined over all pairs of elements with
the final value in the same set as a domain.
