Hi Paul,
I think it's regarding the MM vs. mm in the usage string:
$ src/date --help | grep MM
or: src/date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

$ src/date -u 072710132016
src/date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted

The MM/mm here is inconsistent compared to the %M/%m modifiers.
Usage | % mod | meaning
------+-------+--------
MM | %m | month
mm | %M | minute
Do you agree?
Have a nice day,
Berny
