Yes, exactly. One of which carries an implicit zero indexing. The date of birth doesn't disappear just because you decided to use a different measuring device.

- atwood22 4y agoNo, it doesn’t carry an implicit 0 index. Measuring age (in the West) is like measuring distance. You start at 0, but that doesn’t mean the first item is at index 0.
- randomdata 4y agoIf you took a standard ruler, a measurer of distance and which has literal index marks painted on it, and placed items along it, the item found at the head of the ruler would be found at the 0th index. You're quite right that we think of birth and its anniversaries in the same way.
- samatman 4y agoBirthdays are literally indexed by the moment of birth as zero. You can't possibly be serious.
