Ok, I get that the Date API is problematic, but I wouldn't expect anything meaningfull from new Date("not a date").getTime() anyway. Why would you in the first place?

Because this is a simplified example? Maybe you create the object in one place (saying something more realistic like "2015" or whatever your inexperience or AI told you to) and use getTime() at a later place where you thought you created it in a correct way.

User input is probably the big one where this API is gonna get stress-tested...
