In New York, Neville's friend Tommy, an elderly commercial artist, was in love with a much younger woman named Ritchie who would not see him; Tommy imagined a three-thirty phone call inviting him to lunch, and at that moment Neville woke with the impulse to telephone Ritchie and then Tommy, arranging a luncheon at the Club which Tommy hosted and Neville paid for.
Date (happened)
before 1969
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [533451] belong to telling lecture nids [1216]. 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 29 October 1965
bound
Reasoning
The phone calls and luncheon are completed before speaking. Authoritative carrier adjudication fixes the telling at 1965-10-29; no finer incident date is present.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 011)
Reasoning
Passage 533450: 'Back in New York City... My wife disapproved'; passage 533451: 'at home one day, sitting in the Silence' with lunch 'at the Club' the next day. He married in February 1942 (819) and lived in New York City to April 1957 (20465); after that he lived in Los Angeles.

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 1216 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 1216 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1965-10-29 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1965-10-29 certain; 1969-9-26 refuted; 1965-10-29 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-09-26 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.
26 September 1969
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1216, 1969-9-26) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1965-10-29. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
