I think it is a result of Y2K windowing. Like so: when a technical
glitch or evil hacker wiped out our foundation date, that data element
contained all zeroes. 000000. That did not appear as 00/00/00 because
the way they dealt with /00 turning into /1900 is that they put in a
little subroutine to translate numbers into dates based on the theory
that the oldest date 010100 is 01/01/70, so 082630 is today. And so
000000 is less than 010100 and therefore must be 12/31/69.
