You heard me, is it 0 because 0*anything=0 or is it 1 because anything^0=1?

Well, multiplication is iterated addition, right?
Therefore...
2+0 = 2x1 = 2
2+2 = 2x2 = 4
2+2+2 = 2x3 = 6
So exponents are iterated multiplication, which is iterated addition.
2+2 = 2^2 = 4
2+2+2+2 = 2^3 = 8
2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 = 2
Therefore, should 0^0 not be 0x0 zero times?
