I'm not Evgeny, but I think it's because the titular time spec includes
defaults set by decoded-time-set-defaults:
(parse-time-string "11:30")
;; => (0 30 11 nil nil nil nil -1 nil)
(decoded-time-set-defaults (parse-time-string "11:30"))
;; => (0 30 11 1 1 0 nil -1 nil)
Here's the context: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/64686/15748
> Year 0 is 1970 years before the epoch.
Ah, I missed the last part in the docstring of encode-time:
Years before 1970 are not guaranteed to work. On some systems,
year values as low as 1901 do work.
So I don't know whether my suggested use of decoded-time-set-defaults is
wrong, or whether that function should set the year to 1970, as might be
assumed from its docstring.
Thanks,
