Positive integers represent quantities that are above a reference point or a gain. "Below zero", "below sea level", and "scoring fewer points" all describe values that are negative or represent a deficit relative to a reference. "27 yards above sea level" is a positive quantity relative to sea level (the reference point), so it is best described by a positive integer.
