Ann, a prostitute who attended all his meetings, told him how she imagined wearing an $18 hat she saw on Broadway until a friend gave her that very hat; he then explained to her why the money had not simply come to her.
Date (happened)
between February 1938 and 1939
unresolved
before 1969
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [530811] belong to telling lecture nids [1121]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 6 November 1967
bound
Why
L4 c5u correction following L7 delivery-date adjudication.
Reasoning
Ann narrates the completed manifestation to Neville in lecture 1121, so it occurred no later than that telling. L7 refuted the former 1969-09-22 delivery and re-derived the told date from the surviving certain 1967-11-06 claim. The same adjudication tightens this event-date upper bound to before 1967-11-06; older append-only rows remain as provenance.
between February 1938 and 1939
estimated · probable
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 016)
Reasoning
Ann 'attended all of my meetings' and says 'you told me I could have anything I wanted' (passage 530811), so after his first lecture on 1938-02-02 (chronology event 1279); the same hat story is placed 'before 1939' in event 16646. The upper end rests on that claim.
Told
6 November 1967
estimated
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 1121 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 1121 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1967-11-6 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1964-1-6 refuted; 1967-11-6 certain; 1969-9-22 refuted; 1967-11-6 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-09-22 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.
22 September 1969
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1121, 1969-9-22) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1967-11-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
