Parent too old error (Nos 305-6)

Question

While checking out errors, I encountered what I believe to be a glitch.

The 305 error said "Father too old", but the error was in the child's birth, in that it was one century too late. All other births were in the correct century, but both the 305 and 306 "Mother too old" were tripped.

Perhaps this is nit-picking, but another error code might more clearly explain the error.

I've corrected the child's birth date.

What is the probability that a profile with one unrealistic date doesn't have more errors?  

Instead of letting the software guess it would be nice to get errors for all facts without sources proving its true.... ==> If you add a source you explain what this source claim and what this claim is evidence for....

Then other people would have much better trust in the facts presented on a WikiTree profile. 

Facts without evidences should be marked as errors....

When automating the process by walking through each profile, I imagine its easier to check the parents of a given profile, than it would be to check the children.

Otherwise, they're just two side of the same coin. And there's no way to programmatically know which one has the wrong dates -- so you mark the inconsistencies in relation to the profile you are checking -- thus the parents are too old for this profile.

One can hope...
