Neville says that when he married he took on an obligation, then a child came and another, and that it was his own obligation - not an external being's instruction - to put his daughter through college, which he did.

Reasoning
All 3 claims agree on 1960-09–1964-06: passage:528782; passage:528782; estimated (no source recorded).
before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [528782] belong to telling lecture nids [1050]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 23 July 1968
bound
Reasoning
Passage 528782 states in completed past tense that Neville accepted the obligation to put his daughter through college 'and I did'. Lecture 1050's surviving 1968-07-23 delivery is corroborated by its chrome dateline and printed flyer, so the event certainly precedes that telling day. This tightens the existing before-1968 envelope and does not use either refuted carrier date.

estimated · probable
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 021)
Reasoning
Passage 528782 says he put his daughter through school 'and I did'. Victoria was born 1942-06-28 (event 822) and he went to New York for her graduation in June 1964 (event 6530); four years of college back from that gives autumn 1960 to June 1964.

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 1050 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 1050 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1968-7-23 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1958-11-3 refuted; 1968-7-23 certain; 1968-10-15 refuted; 1968-7-23 certain (preferred); 1968-7-23 certain. Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-10-15 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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 1050, 1968-10-15) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1968-7-23. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

Willingly. First of all, I don’t divorce myself from God. I do not divorce myself from God. He only has one name, and I have that name: I can’t point elsewhere to say his will. The minute I say, “his will,” I am divorced from God. So, I ask myself, “What do you want, Neville?” Now, because the whole vast world is yourself pushed out, you aren’t going to injure anyone, but you can’t deny that you still desire. You want something. So, you want it. Well, you assume that you have it and then let things happen. If it takes a thousand or ten thousand to aid the birth of that assumption, then they… |
