    Am I missing something or has nobody in the comments checked this math?

    1 year = 365 days 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 13 months a year = 364 (7 * 4 = 28 * 13 = 364).

    There is an unaccounted day in Jesse’s system and that’s before taking leap years into account. Dropping that day would result in gradual shift of the calendar through the seasons. Adding it screws with the symmetry that is the core of the argument for a 13 month year.
