Who said that counting from one is always correct? Count off 5 seconds. Ok, ready? Go!
"one mississippi, two mississippi, three mississippi, four mississippi, five mississippi".
Done! But, that's only four seconds. Gotto start from zero, humans forget that.

Second, I think we can agree the most disgusting example of the 0-based insanity is that in Java dates are zero based. That is, 02/15 is in fact the 16th of March. Disgusting.
Does this mean that people will believe me now when I say Sun is lying about 9/11?
