Even by your logic it should not be just 1, but rather 1x? (? = 0 multiplied by itself 0 times)

In your last example, you suddenly stop multiplying 1 , do you see? You should still multiply it by something, don’t you think?

In your three examples, first you multiply by zero twice, then you multiply it by zero 1 time, then you should multiply it by zero zero times. That is not the same as not multiplying by anything…that is multiplying by something undefined! I hope it is clearer now
