    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1959 to before 1959-11-13.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1066 (certain delivery 1959-11-13); 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 1959-11-13 on nid 1066 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

1959-11-13 [exact/certain/final] Esau and Jacob Luckily for me when this began to appear when I was seven, there were no psychoanalysts in the little island of Barbados, and if there had been, my father could not have afforded them. They would not have known what was happening to me. Luckily for the work I was to do, I was born there on this little island that had no importance in the world - and no psychoanalysts! So no one could disturb what my Father was doing to bring about this separation. It went on for five years, from seven to twelve, and then I was torn apart, but I did not lift that being out until I was twenty-one and saw it… 529329
