Just for the point of argument.... Yes a zero ohm resistor is the same as a wire jumper but then again it is not!
Depending on the circuit used, a zero ohm resistor is used by design because a resistor can introduce other factors such as capacitance and inductance also to reduce 'noise' in logic circuits.
Use of a wire jumper will have less control on the function of a logic gate as in false triggering and timing. Because a resistor 'impedes' current flow, the 'triad' of capacitance, impedance and inductance is kept even when the resistance is zero.
