Neville recounts his own practice of counselling people who came to him: he asked what they wanted, then had them describe the world as it would be seen from the fulfilled desire, and he says the theory was built up from watching those cases, which he recorded in his book 'The Power of Awareness'.

Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1002 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1002 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1953-7-19 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1953-7-19 certain; 1958-1-20 refuted; 1953-??-?? possible; 1953-7-19 probable; 1953-7-19 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1958-01-20 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1002, 1958-1-20) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1953-7-19. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
