which was probably brought to you by the same people who have a bizarre
collating sequence where zero follows 9 (see your local keyboard or
telephone keypad for examples).
I think that the zero really means ten.
At least it did, back in the pulse days.
No. Zero means zero.
Since it was difficult to count zero pulses,
it was represented by ten pulses instead,
hence its position on the rotary dial.
