I disagree.

The 20th century was from 1900-1999 just like the first century was from
0-99, the second from 100-199. The second century started when the first
finished. That's why we are in the 21st century now.

I agree
another thing is
When a person is born, e.g. Jesus Christ (theoretical date, not actual for
arguments sake), he is not one. He is in his first year but he is not one.
He only becomes one after he has lived for 365 complete days (leap years
disregarded etc etc.) Therefore you start of in the year 0!!
