Abdullah never claimed to be a Negro, only that he had picked up that garment in Ethiopia ninety-odd years earlier.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [531480] belong to telling lecture nids [1148]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1964 to before 1964-03-10.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1148 (certain delivery 1964-03-10); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1964`, 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 1964-03-10 on nid 1148 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
Repeated remark by Abdullah to Neville (passage 531480); their association runs c. 1929 to the mid-1930s in the chronology (963, 962, 786, 793).
