Maybe I'm just being thick (it's usually the case), but for the life of me I still don't know what your answer to the parent's question is, and I can't tell how your quoted part is supposed to answer it.

My 2 higher levels post post included an alternate phrasing of the test case they specified:

""" None of the examples in the article use a more vague syntax, such as "0 days before the end of the month". """

---

They asked:

""" What’s Feb 28th + 1 month?

Does the human expect the last day of March? Or the 28th day of March? """

---

It's implicit, the human only expects the month to change, because the input isn't a descriptive phrase "the end of the month" adjusted or not, it's a literal date. That's why my other test cases show the same behavior for the end of the month.
