They did get the year of Jesus' putative birth laughably wrong, indeed. But let's pretend that the decision to remake the calendar in his honor happened while he was still alive. I would think they would want the year to match up with his age, and wouldn't want to pester him by having a year in his honor that is always irritatingly off by one. (I know you're thirty-three, but it's the year thirty-two, m'Lord.) In any case, I declared a year zero back at the 1999-2000 turnover and haven't looked back since.
