While this problem is dumb, you could eliminate the class of user errors by having months be selected by name

Technically, we can eliminate this class of user errors by holding up YYYY-MM-DD as the one true method of dating and smite the nonbelievers.

We're generally not allowed to smite the end users at work, satisfying as that may have been.

We can mostly just hope to keep that standard within the codebase, and seek alternative means of eliminating error classes for end users
