Another theory:
6 and 7 are right next to each other on the keyboard. The person hears 72,
the right index finger is a little to the left of the '7' key, somehow
getting '6' first then the desired '7'. Remember, '6' and '7' are entered
with the same finger if you are a touch typist. Voila, the CK field
contains what appears to be a valid 2-digit year, and they go on, without
looking at the screen to confirm the information is entered correctly.
