Didn't you mean that the other way around?
Where:
        0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1

is a true static route. In the event of link failure for any
reason it will be withdrawn from the table.

Whereas
        0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0
is treated as a connected route and will remain in the routing
table no matter what kind of tumult may be occurring on the link.
