I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That's too big of a difference to truncate.

True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there's enough space.
