That's completely irrelevant to my point, which was that in a calendar of 12 30-day months you can't have a 31st day of any month.

I don’t see why it sucks, it just makes sense to start it on the winter solstice as the days start to get longer and longer / shorter and shorter depending on the hemisphere you are in

Starting a new year in the dead middle of Winter doesn’t make sense to me. Spring is when trees and flowers start blooming, hence the choice of March for the first month by Antique civilizations (also the start of their military campaigns which, although convenient, is not something I get behind really)
