Some four or five years before 1959, while lecturing to twenty-six hundred on Sunday mornings at the Fox-Wilshire and turning away fifteen hundred more (taking a second theater of seven hundred and fifty which also overflowed), he felt in his head the pulsing struggle of a child, like a pregnant woman near her time, and knew that to share it would seem madness.

"it goes back quite a few years before 1959 – I would say, four or five years", told in The Revelation of Purpose (nid 1170)
between 1954 and 1955
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Four or five years before the explicitly named 1959 reference yields 1954 through 1955. The hedge I would say makes the range estimated and probable.
between 1954 and 1955
estimated · probable
Why
Year range only; no month or day is stated.
Reasoning
Subtracting Neville's expressly approximate four-or-five-year interval from 1959 yields 1954 through 1955; probable confidence preserves his own hesitation.

nid 1170 surviving delivery claim after refutation. All claims: 1964-5-29 refuted; 1968-3-11 refuted; 1971-4-19 probable (preferred)
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 1170 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 1170 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1971-4-19 at `probable`. All claims on the node: 1964-5-29 refuted; 1968-3-11 refuted; 1971-4-19 probable (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-03-11 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`) | delta 1: 1968-03-11 at `probable` (run `v1.1/l4/ceiling/c2`). 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.
19 April 1971
estimated · probable
Reasoning
The event is directly narrated in node 1170, whose authoritative adjudication fixes delivery at 1971-04-19 certain and rejects older carrier dates. || v1.1 ceiling repair: asserted certain by run v1.1/l4/actor425/15500-15999-b1, lowered to probable — the delivery claim on node 1170 it derives from is no stronger than probable.
1971
estimated · probable
Reasoning
The event is recounted in node 3974, whose anniversary arithmetic supports delivery in 1971 at probable confidence but supplies no month or day.

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1170, 1968-3-11) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1971-4-19. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

stated · refuted
Source
The Revelation of Purpose (nid 1170), telling 1170-3, told 1968-03-11
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 1170 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1170 delivery claims: 1964-5-29 possible; 1968-3-11 possible; 1971-4-19 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. || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1170, 1968-3-11) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1971-4-19. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
