I've always felt that the documentation could be more clear about this.

The documentation is technically accurate, but frequently leads a new user
to assume that (for example) any year can be used, not just the year 2006.
Same for all the other fields.  My theory is that new users see this and
are so amazed at how magical it looks that they assume even more magic.  If
Jan works, why not Feb too?

Oddly enough, the documentation never seems to confuse people that already
know how it works.
