I disagree. We're not talking about opening the pod bay doors, we're
talking about something that's not even logically possible, which
means that every time a user asks for a due date that is before the
start date they are making a mistake. It's like typing "orange" as
your birthday. Make the error message as unobtrusive as possible, but
provide an error message.
