If the date were incorrectly in the past, you'd also end up with incorrect
results. But at least when you move the data around, it stays consistently
incorrect. :)

Automatically rewriting the timestamp to the current time would mean that you
have no way to correct the dates later (whereas if you knew how much the clock
was off, you could go into the DB and correct them all in a batch).

I'm not sure we can really do much better than accepting the given data,
perhaps with a warning.
