Because it is legitimately a date expressed in seconds?

convert 10 to long date
= Wednesday, December 31, 1969

In fact, converting any integer from -57600 to 86400 into a long date will result in Wednesday, December 31, 1969

Convert -57601 to long date will result in…Guess what!
Wednesday, December 30, 1969
