Another bunch of rather less intelligent people insist that there was
a year zero, ...

Actually, there was a year zero but for reasons that are self-evident
if you know what happened then, there's been a huge cover-up ever
since. You're not supposed to know that. Despite the disinformation
that it was a rather ordinary year in Augustinian Rome, it's when
people first realized that the al~~~r~~~!~

Well it's flipping well all made up based upon an event that didn't
happen,
so why does it matter?

What event would that be?

A "virgin birth" (as I understand)

If you are referring to the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, then there is
very little doubt (except among those who doubt everything as a matter
of policy) that the event happened.

Either way, that is not the zero point of the calendar, though it is
related to it.
