So, it's not in the boil. It's not in the secondary. Where does this part of the equation fit? Thanks for the translation...

Seems to me that the whole point of putting them in a 0 minutes is so they don't add any bitterness and only aroma to the wort. I always put them in at flameout and then immediately start chilling so as the wort cools enough not to cause bitterness.
I get even better aroma by adding the flameout addition after the wort has cooled to 170-180f, add hops and continue cooling. I make sure they sit in there for at least 20 min, after smelling the aroma you will never do another 5 minute addition again.
