So according to you, 0*0 = 0, thus 0/0 = 0?

If division by zero is not undefined, yes. But how does this disagree with the assertion that it's mathematically inconsistent (as opposed to programmatically inconsistent)? If any case exists that leads to a logically false conclusion, then it's not logically consistent.
Nope. If 0/0 = 0, then x * 0/0 = x * 0, so 1/0 = 1, implying 1 = 0.
