It's a frivolous and simple example to show the underlying impact of not understanding the context of a hypothetical feature request.
Yes, it is a contrived example, that's my point. But it's not the programmer that didn't understand the feature request, it's the entire organization. A questionable decision earlier made by the Account Manager led to an overly complex, questionable implementation that will lead to more code and more bugs. Trust me, I've been there.

How does the computer know that today is the first day of the month without already having a complete calender implentation?
But it's not a code review. It's a frivolous and simple example to show the underlying impact of not understanding the context of a hypothetical feature request. I have a feeling that in typical engineer fashion, you're missing the forest for the trees. Trust me, I've been there :)
