Unfortunately, I do not have the chops to debate against this, but the political ramifications would be immense. The bet (https://www.rootclaim.com/rootclaim_challenge) requires that (a) you have $100k (b) are able to successfully debate it.

I won't put $100k against this, but I'll put $10k against it, because "the truth" is worth it. I'll pool $10k into a $100k stake behind a debate team that can debate this (and validate that this is actually refutable). This is valid until 2021-03-01.

Please clarify your date format. Is that 1st of March or the day before 4th of January? According to my European sentiment it's the 3rd of January, is that correct?

Most often I see this as an example of ISO 8061 date, https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html .

"Looking for an unambiguous calendar-and-clock format that is internationally understood? It’s time for ISO 8601."

"ISO 8601 tackles this uncertainty by setting out an internationally agreed way to represent dates:

YYYY-MM-DD

For example, September 27, 2012 is represented as 2012-09-27."

Yes, yes, yes, please use ISO 8601! Big-endian is the only rational way to sort dates and it combines nicely with time-of-day as well.

Big endian is also much easier to read as someone who reads from left to right.
