Default 0 (ZERO) Ohm Resistors (WTF)........

No, that is not correct. Notice that the fourth band says
"multiplier".

The chart shows four bands plus tolerance, which means three digits
plus a multiplier, plus tolerance.

You multiply the first three bands with the multiplier value. Since
the three first bands in your example are all zero, you must multiply
zero by one ohm, which is still zero.

An easy way to remember how the multiplier band works, is to think of
it as "number of zeroes".
