Are you referring to 06-06-06 being 06-06-03 because you think that Jesus was born 09-11-03BC?
If so, consider this
Let's assume that 09-11-3BC is correct.
The Gregorian calendar assumes that Jesus was born on December 25th, 1BC, the first complete year of his life being 1 AD.
So, Dionysius Exiguus was off by 2 years and 3 months, not 3 years. So, the year 2006 AD, if corrected to begin counting from Jesus birthdate calculated as 09-11-3BC, would be 2004 not 2003.
Since there is no "zero year" in our calendar system, you can't simply subtract 3 from the current year like you can on those number lines we learned about in elementary school; 3BC is not equivalent to -3 since there is no zero.
