    Why Neville Corpus v1.1 L1.6 anchor reconciliation.
    Reasoning L1.6: copied at no greater confidence from the adjudicated preferred delivery claim of anchor node 1052.

    Source God Is Light ¶30"Today", told in God Is Light (nid 1052)
    Reasoning || v1.1/l7/passage-inherit: lowered `certain` -> `doubtful`. This date was inherited from lecture node 1052, whose own 1958-12-15 delivery claim has been refuted, and no other node in the corpus holds that date live — so the only witness for this date is one the corpus has disproved. Lowered, never refuted (#2461 §1 rule (b)): what collapsed is the evidence for WHEN, not the event. This row was reached through a PASSAGE source, which every earlier rule-(b) pass was structurally blind to.

    Source God Is Light ¶30'Today I took the word light'
    Reasoning Passage 528877 explicitly says Neville performed the lookup 'Today'. The authoritative adjudication for its carrier lecture establishes 1967-10-09 at certain and rejects 1958-12-15. A zero-offset today anchor therefore yields the exact delivery day without interval uncertainty, at no higher confidence than the adjudicated carrier.
  4. 9 October 1967 estimated · probable
    Source A Spiritual Feast ¶27Passage 550594 says 'Today, I took the word light and went through my book.'
    Reasoning 'Today' makes the review contemporaneous with nid 1974's preferred transcript date 1967-10-09; confidence is capped at probable because a transposed 1967-09-10 catalogue claim remains.

    Source God Is Lightlecture nid 1052 'God Is Light' delivery date 1967-10-09, corroborated independently by catalog #371 and a chrome dateline recovered from the pre-strip transcript byline ('by Neville Goddard 10/9/67'); the conflicting 1958-12-15 catalog claim is uncorroborated and this lecture's own processing notes find nothing internal to resolve the conflict either way.
    Why Flag for another lane: this event's TITLE ('...December 15, 1958') needs correcting to 1967-10-09; see also event 6003 for the same title-generation pattern.
    Reasoning Two independent certain sources agree exactly on 1967-10-09, so this is preferred over the single uncorroborated 1958-12-15 catalog claim.

    Reasoning The transcript header dates nid 1974 to 1967-10-09 at probable confidence while the transposed catalogue date remains doubtful.

1967-10-09 [exact/probable/preferred] A Spiritual Feast Leave the book just as it is, don’t try to change it. I stand amazed, yet I cannot be disturbed about it when I read all the great scholars on this book. Today, I took the word light and went through my book on the word light. It’s amazing that the great scholars they cannot see it. They think it is a figure of speech, it can’t be true. It couldn’t be taken in a literal sense and so they try to give it every kind of interpretation. And these are the great minds of the day, men who are masters of the ancient tongue, but they know nothing because they haven’t had the experience. But I tell you… 550594
