    Reasoning Passage 544317 in 'The Storm and the Calm' recounts the J.C. Penney firing in the past tense ('I tell you when I was first fired...') with no happening date given, so this is a told claim. The lecture's own delivery date is established at certain confidence (chrome dateline independently re-read from the Pass-0 revision diff, cross-validated by weekday against npr 25091), so the telling is dated to that day; the event carries no field_told claim citing this lecture yet.

    Reasoning Passage 547395 in 'Rock Water Wine' recounts the same firing story in the past tense with no happening date given, so this is a told claim. The lecture's own delivery date is 1966-02-18 (probable), cross-validated by the lecture's own 'this coming Sunday, on the 20th' statement matching 20 Feb 1966 being a Sunday. This telling is not yet recorded on the event.

The lecture's standing delivery date is 1969-01-17 (probable), the earlier 1968/1968-12 Verne-arithmetic estimates on this node having been refuted. This telling is not yet recorded on the event.

    Source delivery claim on lecture nid 2064 'Freedom' (d0, probable, source-document dateline read verbatim)
    Reasoning Passage 552672 in 'Freedom' recounts the firing story with no happening date given, so this is a told claim. The lecture's delivery date is read verbatim from its source-document dateline as 1968-10-28 (probable). This telling is not yet recorded on the event.
