But dates from the 1st of a month to the 1st of the next month
should be considered to span a full month, shouldn't it?
If not, of what use would it be?
A month is *not* defined to be 30.4375 days.
Getting an average months is completely useless IMO.
Who wants to get such a result for what purpose?

Then it seems that he meens that the *definition* is wrong and useless.
