That's true (not counting Sun/Mon of last week which were in 2001)
if you start counting with `1', but with %W, date starts with 0.
Here's what the manual (`info date') says:
`%W'
week number of year with Monday as first day of week (00...53).
Days in a new year preceding the first Monday are in week zero.
