While I agree in spirit (Occam tells me it was just unprecedented load), that explanation doesn't make any sense to me in terms of disproving the Leap Year theory. The mistake wouldn't even have to be in their code. As for believing/unbelieving, I mean, I've seen dumber mistakes in financial products I've worked on. Not as high stakes or damaging, but definitely dumber.
