Did you mean to say “how little”?

How much and how little are logically equivalent, although in vernacular usage it is of course common to use how little when implying the amount is less than one might expect, and how much to imply the amount is more than one might expect.

Practical communication is not an exercise in logical deduction. The meaning of those terms is not equivalent for exactly the reason you noted.

human beings are not always perfect communicators, regrettably.

Luckily, other humans can 'clear things up' :)
