Then obviously your experience with medical, insurance, and other demographic applications is rather limited.

I can count in the thousands the times I have had to clean up databases where people were born and transactions occured in the future ... sometimes hundreds of years in the future. The City of Seattle Washington has a database of which I am familiar in which many things are entered in the years 2991 and 3001 and that is hardly an exception to the rule.
