But what if it was in their interest to lie about the date? And that they hadn't agreed beforehand because they didn't expect to be asked about the meeting?

How would they have all come up with the exact same lie on the spot? The odds of it happening -- for 10 people, no less -- are astronomical.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
