About thirty years ago, walking down 55th Street, Neville suddenly saw every person surrounded by an enormous pillar of cloud passing through the walls of buildings, and by night the cloud appeared fiery; he says the faculty has never left him.

22 November 1965
stated · doubtful
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 1222 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1222 delivery claims: 1965-11-22 doubtful; 1965-5-7 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.
7 May 1965
estimated · probable
Why
Correction offered beside, not over, the standing 1965-11-22 told claims per append-only; a prior ceiling-correction row explicitly left the date question open for this pass.
Reasoning
The existing told claims (1965-11-22) rest on catalogue #298, a claim the node's own processing marks 'questioned_by_stronger_source' and doubtful, and the lecture's closing text describing a spring lecture schedule fits a May delivery, not late November - exactly the conflict the processing notes flag as 'not resolved here'. The node's other delivery claim, 1965-05-07, is a probable chrome-harvest reading independently corroborated by that same internal schedule, so it is the better-supported date for this telling; ceilinged at probable to match the delivery claim it is derived from.
