Huh? If you literally type '1/13' into the live demo it works as one would expect. '113' works too, it just assumes the month is eleven, and the year starts with 3.
If you literally type '1/13' into the live demo it interprets it as '11/3' because it does not allow a '/' character to be entered as cpeterso mentioned
There are three ways to interpret it. It is either 11/3, 1/13, or an error. Since 11/3 isn't a valid date, I think it is safe to rule that out as an incorrect interpretation. Either of the other two interpretations seem acceptable to me.
