I'm sorry, but you clearly haven't heard of unary, or base 1, which is probably the earliest counting system which 1 is 1, 2 is 11, 3 is 111, etc. Tallymarks. You are correct base 0 would make no sense, however.
But yes please explain to me the very thing we're talking about which is exactly what I was referencing when pointing out that using 0 as an identifier rather than a value is moderately counterintuitive.
