Jc3s5h added a comment.

I think there are two distinct meanings. First, there is an event that has a 
duration much less than the precision. For example, Benjamin Franklin died on  
April 17, 1790 in Philadelphia; our article does not give the time of death. 
Supposing that the editor who placed the information in Wikidata didn't have 
information about the time of day, the precision would be 1 day. But the event 
of dying presumably took much less than a day.

A different meaning would be a celebration of a legal holiday. For simplicity, 
suppose the holiday was a one-time event rather than recurring every year. 
Since it was legally defined, the beginning and end are exactly known.

How these two different meanings should be represented in Wikidata is unclear.
