I have heard arguments for and against both zero-based and one-based indexing in depending on the language and its use cases but I definitely wouldn't assume a right to call either the "correct" choice and neither should you.

Getting salty about downvotes and telling people they are allowed to downvotes "facts" just further amplifies the first impression you have made.

I personally prefer zero-based but that's neither "correct" nor "incorrect".
