In passing he remarks on his own physical condition, saying he is not a strong man today, in contrast to the two-hundred-pound author he says he could not throw far.
Date (happened)
18 June 1971
stated · probable · preferred
Why
Old 1959-05-10 certain claim on this event is stale, inherited from the lecture's now-doubtful catalog date; left in place per no-delete rule.
Reasoning
This remark about Neville's own current physical condition ('today') happens at the moment he speaks it, so its happening date is the lecture's delivery date. The lecture's old catalog delivery claim of 1959-05-10 was downgraded to doubtful by v1.1/l2/w2b, which established a probable, preferred delivery date of 1971-06-18 from the lecture's own leading chrome dateline, corroborated by an internal reference to a letter dated 11 June discussed as recent -- incompatible with a May 1959 delivery. The event's pre-existing certain 1959-05-10 claims predate that correction and inherit its now-superseded date; this claim brings field_date in line with the lecture's current best evidence, capped at the lecture's own probable confidence.
10 May 1959
stated · doubtful
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/passage-inherit: lowered `certain` -> `doubtful`. This date was inherited from lecture node 1055, whose own 1959-05-10 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.

Why
Old 1959-05-10 certain claim on this event is stale; left in place per no-delete rule.
Reasoning
field_told answers when he stood up and told it. The lecture carrying this remark (nid 1055, Who Paul Really Is) is now best-dated 1971-06-18 at probable confidence, preferred=1, per v1.1/l2/w2b's correction of the lecture's own delivery claims; the old catalog claim of 1959-05-10 that this event's existing certain field_told inherited was downgraded to doubtful by the same pass. Capped at probable, the lecture's own ceiling.
10 May 1959
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-lower: lowered `certain` -> `doubtful`. The telling-date 1959-05-10 is refuted on the source lecture (nid 1055) and no live claim on that node supports it, so the corpus can no longer say WHEN this was told. ⛔ The row is KEPT, not retired: it also records THAT nid 1055 tells this event, which is true and checkable from the passages, and retiring it would discard that with the date. || v1.1/l7/told-close-residue: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1055, 1959-5-10) is now refuted. The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1971-6-18. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

Who Paul Really Is |
Now, here we only have two lectures left, and these will be in order, even though they seem repetitious. They cannot be repeated too often. Man so quickly forgets! You go away for a month, and those you thought really understood you . . when you return, they try to tell you, “I just found the most wonderful book on diets” . . the most wonderful book on how to get into Heaven in another way. A friend of mine . . I thought he understood it . . I thought he did, for he made extravagant claims, and in the last month he sent me books by men that I knew before they died here. We mustn’t judge from… |
