    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [528922] belong to telling lecture nids [1053]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1964 to before 1964-01-21.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1053 (certain delivery 1964-01-21); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1964`, 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 1964-01-21 on nid 1053 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 006)
    Reasoning 'Used to say' implies repeated hearing during his association with Abdullah; the chronology puts their meeting c. 1929-1931 and the last dated exchanges in 1933-1935.
