After lecturing at Town Hall in New York one Sunday night, Neville was struck by excruciating gall bladder colic, refused to cancel the next night's dinner party and left his wife to host it while he stayed in the bedroom, and at eleven that night was rushed to hospital, where his friends asked him "Where's your God, Neville?"

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [530210] belong to telling lecture nids [1098]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.

Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1098 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1098 delivery claims: 1963-4-16 possible; 1963-5-24 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node.
24 May 1963
estimated · probable
Why
The lecture's delivery date is itself an already-flagged, unresolved conflict between 04-16 (possible, catalogue) and 05-24 (probable, chrome); this claim takes the internal reading and does not attempt to settle the lecture-level dispute.
Reasoning
The transcript's own opening byline reads 'May 24, 1963' in full, spelled-out form with no scrape contamination -- internal witness evidence, which the corpus's own hierarchy ranks above the rival 1963-04-16 date, which is catalogue backfill ('Neville lectures catalog #148') rather than an independent source. Confidence is capped at the node claim's own probable, not raised above it.
