How do we reach date conclusions? From the evidence.

I'm wondering if you don't understand "January 2, 1979-December 31, 1980". It doesn't mean January 2, 1979 OR December 31, 1980. It means January 2, 1979 or January 3, 1979 or January 4, 1979 or January 5, 1979 etc. etc. etc. up to December 31, 1980. It means anywhere between those dates.

If someone were "5" in "1990", the example you give, then that means they were born between January 2, 1984 and December 31, 1985.

And the Misty example is that she was 5 specifically on February 11, 1990, meaning at the youngest, it was her 5th birthday was February 11, 1990 (meaning born February 11, 1985), and at the oldest, it was 1 day until her 6th birthday on February 11, 1990 (meaning she turned 6 on February 12, 1990, meaning born February 12, 1984). So, she was born between February 12, 1984 and February 11, 1985.
