OK, here's the definition again:

"A digit that is nonzero" – this applies to the first and last digit of 1000001. This accounts for two significant digits.

"Or, when zero" (i.e. the zeroes in the middle of 1000001) "followed only by further zeros". This does not apply here since the five zeroes are followed by a 1. So according to the defintion these zeroes are considered non-significant digits.

Do I miss something here?
