So you're deciding that a 'date' is 'the entire of that day', except when you subtract two of them, when it suddenly means something else? ;-)

It makes kinda sense although it looks like a contradiction at first.

The common linguistic usage of dates in English and German: "On Saturday" or "On 2007-03-07" is a undefined time anytime on Saturday or the whole Saturday but Saturday and Sunday are a day apart. It feels right to me.
