    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1959 to before 1959-09-08.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1058 (certain delivery 1959-09-08); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1959`, 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 1959-09-08 on nid 1058 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

1959-09-08 [exact/certain/final] The Birth of the Babe I know the story is truer than I ever knew it to be (the story of the birth of Christ Jesus), but it is not something that took place; but it is taking place. I can make no pretense of holiness. I have done everything; I have lived life fully, and I think, richly. Everything I have done I have done to excess; that is the way I am. So I cannot be proud that I gave birth to that son, nor can I be ashamed, but when I see as I have seen, then I know the story is truer than the priesthoods of the world tell us. 529104
