Easy mistake, he subtracted instead of added 1 to 17__. I have to pause and think about it myself and I have reason to know.

I still pause and think, too....When I’m doing a lot of historical work, I find myself dating my letters/bills wrong by a couple of centuries.

I just remember that the movie company 20th Century Fox came to prominence in the 19-hundreds.

Pretty goofy 'trick', I know, but I can always immediately recall the 'century' in which a given date occurred.
