Zero Awareness!!!

I recently started watching dollhouse. I was starting to liking the show but today I stumbled upon a hurtful fact in Ballard's dialog in the 6th episode. He mentions that zero was given to the world by Japanese. As much as I respect people from all nations, I hate the fact that this major fact was ignored that it was actually used as a number by an Indian scholar Pingala and Japanese have no involvement with it. I think for a show of such popularity, the research should be irreproachable. I am extremely disappointed Do you find this valuable?

I suggest you do a bit more research yourself. The "Luftwaffe" that Mynor refers to was the German Air Force (Luftwaffe meaning "air weapon"). The Zeros that Mynor was referring to were actually -Japanese- dogfighting airplanes introduced during World War II, considered the best dogfighting planes of their time. Ballard was correcting Mynor's error, not making one himself.

The more you know! Do you find this valuable?
