Because the local date was changed more recently than the date of the newest version, we could assume that I have a newer version.
dates work well, i would say, but it's possible that the local dates could get confused. i would think, tho, that dates could certainly be used for at least warning of possible problems. messed up dates would rarely (if ever) get set back in time, so the worst to happen would be false positives. minion could also make sure to install by deleting the old folder (as an option) so that bad folder dates could be reset.
