Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 005)
Reasoning
Passage 528248: 'In my own case, raised normally, with all the food before me ... he drank heavily; my father was a very heavy drinker. All these things were exposed to us.' He grew up in Barbados until 1922-09 (20457). It is a household condition, not a dated act.

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [528248] belong to telling lecture nids [1033]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1969 to before 1969-01-30.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1033 (certain delivery 1969-01-30); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1969`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1969-01-30 on nid 1033 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 9 January 1964
bound
Reasoning
The passage presents the father's drinking as an established past and ongoing family fact, so it necessarily occurred before the telling. The witness lecture's supported delivery is 1964-01-09; its former 1969-01-30 delivery claim is refuted, making before 1964-01-09 the supported upper bound.

Reasoning
Passage 528248 in witness lecture node 1033 tells this event. Node 1033's current preferred delivery claim is exact/certain 1964-01-09; the legacy 1969-01-30 delivery and told claims are refuted. This told date is derived from the lecture delivery, so it is typed estimated.
