But Michael Jackson was born on April 19th[0]! As well as March 27th[1], and many other days[2].

"Michael Jackson was born on August 29th" is the most likely answer to contextless queries like "When was Michael Jackson born?", but that does not make structurally identical sentences with different information false, merely less probable to be contextually correct.
