This is fascinating. Even sillier example, https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-31+to+2016-04-0... and https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-30+to+2016-04-0...

both show an identical duration of 2 years 9 months 26 days (edit: despite reporting 1032 and 1031 days respectively).

Counting months and days are two very different metrics.

Months are lunar. Days are solar.

Depends on the calendar system, as far as this discussion goes, the Greogorian calendar system is solar even for months.
