7/12/2005 is a Tuesday. dayOfWeek: returns 0-6 with 0 as Sunday. Thus, dayOfWeek: returning 2 is indeed correct as 2 means Tuesday.

I checked the day using the unix 'cal' utility.

Somehow I have managed to construct a NSCalendarDate that returns the incorrect dayOfWeek.
I am doing a lot of manipulating of the date by adding years, months, and days to it depending on various parameters. I don't understand how it is possible to end up with a date that is incorrect.

I have using dateByAddingYears:months:days:hours:minutes:seconds. There is a small note in the docs that state it is possible to land on the next day by accident because of daylight savings time, but it doesn't say that the date you get will be out of synch with reality and invalid.

I log the date and I get:
[result dayOfWeek]: 2 // SHOULD BE 3
2005-07-12 18:17:45 -0400

If you check in iCal, this is clearly incorrect.

Is there something about NSCalendarDate that I am misunderstanding?
