This can cause minor inconvenience to the users especially at first when starting to use the app as he would not know what went wrong until he checks that the date he has entered is not valid. (If a user inputs 2022-11-31 for example, he would have to check the calendar to know that it is not a valid date). In actual fact, this may even cause more than occassional inconvenience but especially at the start when he doesn't know what went wrong.

Subsequently, he still would not be aware of invalid dates he has input and hence has to refer to other calendars for example to see whether his input his invalid or he typed in the wrong command format, which would be inconvenient for him.
