Fair enough, but at the end of the year you certainly wouldn't expect to jump back almost a year by the same reasoning, so intead of having a choice to "prefer future" or "keep strictly the same year/month/day" unconditionally one should be able to say how much of the past should be considered. Not unlike how most spreadsheet programs today allow you to configure what range of years should be used if you enter just two digits.
