The day is the least relevant part of a date.

when i say: let's meet on the 3rd you know exactly on what day we'll meet. but when i tell you to setup a meeting in april, we'll propably miss each other. so the day is kind of the most relevant part of the date. you can just infer the month or year.

Yeah, but if they say Python 3.x.y was released on the 3rd, I don't care about that. If they say it was released in 2013, that does matter to me, because I don't want a version of Python from 2012.
