Because he didn't know about ISO8601. The only correct date format, especially in Canada.

Leaving aside the problem that you are choosing a date system depending on who is using the dating system

I'm choosing one for humans, that'd seem to be the group that uses date systems most. Picking a new datesystem for each purpose would be insane, but also exactly what's happening in computer systems.

under that condition the most logical would be MM/DD/YYYY, which is truly terrible, so I'm going to politely ignore your argument.

I fail to see that conclusion? Why would that be the most logical?
