I believe this check will *always* pass if the number fits in a 32-bit
integer, rendering the check somewhat pointless.

Do you have any additional constraints on this date other than that
it's a valid date? Like it's supposed to be in the future, in the
past, or reasonably close (e.g. within a year) of the current time?
