    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [538832] belong to telling lecture nids [1384]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
Told / reported
  1. 7 October 1968 estimated · probable · preferred
    Reasoning Witness passage 538832 is inside lecture node 1384. The packet's adjudication for node 1384 establishes the delivery date as 1968-10-07 at probable from the chrome dateline, superseding the doubtful 1968-10-09 catalogue date. A told claim citing a lecture node is type estimated, never stated. Confidence is capped by the strongest delivery claim on node 1384 with exactly the same six-part tuple 1968-10-07; that strongest claim is probable, so confidence probable is allowed. Existing told claims at 1968-10-09 doubtful are left untouched.

    Why pm-actor-525: M7 dating (525): Superseded by node 1384's better-evidenced probable delivery of 1968-10-07.
    Reasoning Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1384 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1384 delivery claims: 1968-10-9 doubtful; 1968-10-7 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node.
