The event is specifically the draft and resulting income loss; the linked military-record research witness dates his induction to November 1942. No day is asserted.
before 1963
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [530652] belong to telling lecture nids [1117]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 12 December 1963
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-12-12.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1117 (certain delivery 1963-12-12); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1963`, 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 1963-12-12 on nid 1117 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
