Should the date? function return false if an invalid date is entered?

For example, when entering (YYYY-MM-DD);
>> date? 2001-12-25
== true

So you would think that a False would be returned if a date was incorrect,
however, unexpectedly;
>> date? 2001-13-25
** Syntax Error: Invalid date -- 2001-13-25
** Near: (line 1) date? 2001-13-25


Since date? doesn't return a false but a Syntax Error.  When I try the
following I would expect it to gracefully allow me to enter an invalid date
and allow me to write code around it to correct it.
>> if error? try [ date? 2001-13-25] [print "An invalid date was entered"]
** Syntax Error: Invalid date -- 2001-13-25
** Near: (line 1) error? try [ date? 2001-13-25]

Any thoughts?
