Neville's father passes safely through a Barbados uprising

During a wealth-against-poverty uprising in Barbados that lasted about twenty-four hours, Neville's brothers fled home guarded by their servants, but his father had his colored chauffeur drive him straight down to the wharf through a crowd of tens of thousands armed with sticks and knives; a voice called "It's the chief, let him through" and the car went through untouched.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1965 to before 1965-01-12.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1183 (certain delivery 1965-01-12); 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 1965-01-12 on nid 1183 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Reasoning Passage 532512 describes a one-day uprising in Barbados of the poor against the wealthy, crowds with sticks and knives, his father driving to the wharf. This fits the Bridgetown riots of late July 1937; his father lived until 1959 (5951). The text does not name the riot or year; check before relying on it.
