In terms of PSA being lazy, my guess is that most auction houses would find your recommended approach to be more work than it’s worth to try to push on the precise dating of this issue. So in some ways (if my assumption is true), then you could argue the AHs exhibit similar levels of sloth. Although we could debate whose sloth is more damning!

I hope the AH in this case takes the time to correct and/or explain before the auction begins in a few weeks. I shake my head at the notion that it would be "more work than it's worth" to correct the date. A change of a word or two and a couple of sentences of explanation as part of auctioning a five or six figure item does not seem onerous. I can say with every degree of confidence that Al Crisafulli at LOTG would nail this down if it were in his auction.
