Newbie have thoughts about logic

My real starting point as a human being was when the sperm met the egg, not when I was born. A 1m distance starts with 0 yes but you don't count that. If you have 3 marbles in your hand and ask anyone to count them high, do you really think anyone would start by saying zero?? Would YOU? The starting point in a sentence is before the first letter, not the first letter. Finally, it seems you get offended by me questioning Python. I suggest you leave this thread in that case.

Haven't you noticed that you arguing with yourself? You start with: 'Nobody starts counting with zero', then you say '0 is the starting point' and 'A 1m distance starts with 0'.

Let's try this marble example from the start: 'How many marbles are on the table?', you look at the table, count and answer 'Zero', I put one marble on the table, 'How many marbles are on the table?', 'One'. So yes, you start counting from zero :-). One can claim that starting from zero is un-natural, strange and whatnot but this doesn't mean it's not logical. There is logic out there whether you agree with it or not.

And no, I am not offended, just try'n nudge you towards realizing that your personal preferences aren't logic. Logic doesn't care what I or you think, prefer or believe. Actually I enjoy arguing. It helps think through what to say and your opponent will spotlight weaknesses of your arguments. Yummy...

Example of applying your logic: i understand your belief about your starting point as human being. This is very sensitive subject but I just following your logic: both Texas legislators and people who are against abortion ban are murderers/accomplishes of murderers - because any abortion is killing a human being regardless of fetus age. Is it what you wanted to say?

As part of learning process you could read Dijkstra's famous: Why numbering should start at zero
