During a week of experiences with his dead father, Neville dreamed he was with his father, who knew he was dead though his sons could not see him; his brother Collin — an employer of two to three thousand people — went out in the rain himself to fetch flying fish, and the father praised him for having no false pride.

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 1064 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 1064 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1959-11-6 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1959-11-6 certain; 1969-4-6 refuted; 1959-11-6 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-04-06 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.
6 April 1969
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1064, 1969-4-6) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1959-11-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
