Reasoning
Passages 532403 and 532522 show Abdullah trying to sound Yod He Vau He for him, which fits the years Neville studied Hebrew and Kabbalah with him (met 1929-31, chronology 963, 962, 765; studied with him from 1933, 19859; residence near Abdullah 1933-36, 766). No text dates the anecdote itself.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [532403] belong to telling lecture nids [1181]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1965 to before 1965-01-05.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1181 (certain delivery 1965-01-05); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1965`, 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 1965-01-05 on nid 1181 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim, and MIN was taken across this event's 2 certain told dates. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
