Neville recalls his boyhood in Barbados, watching children shipped in from the other islands for the school year, crying themselves to sleep from homesickness while their parents left them there out of love; some were sent on to England for years at a time.

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 1062 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 1062 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1959-10-6 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1959-10-6 certain; 1968-10-13 refuted; 1959-10-6 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-10-13 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.

Why
Conflicts with the standing 1968-10-13 told claim on this event; that claim is left untouched per append-only, and the conflict is disclosed here rather than resolved.
Reasoning
Node 1062's 1959-10-06 delivery claim is independently corroborated (a transcript-opening dateline matches a separately-sourced legacy catalog entry), against a rival 1968-10-13 legacy claim (catalog #477) that is unreviewed and uncorroborated. Since this event is recounted within the lecture, the told date derives from the better-supported delivery date at a probable ceiling, reflecting the still-unresolved catalog conflict on the node itself.
13 October 1968
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1062, 1968-10-13) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1959-10-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
