Yeah the sheer volume of just bad data entry type situations with messed up dates could have been for some companies absolutely enormous.

Whole businesses would be ground to a halt to stem the mess of bad data and if not prepared they would not have quick fix.

In many cases in the age of apps and web apps we can roll out fixes fairly quickly, but in 2000 that was very much not the case for most situations.
