When writing a number you never start with a zero. If something never happens you should favor the scenario that happens quite often.

If I type 000012 why would you think I wanted 12?

12 is equal to 000012

If you're in the context of math, yes. Otherwise no. How often are you both doing math and _also_ bizarrely typing leading zeros? Who does that?
