Neville tells of a morning seven years earlier at El Comino when, after seeing his daughter off to school and reading his Bible, his wife came out at brunch and told him a dream within a dream in which a hand — Death's hand — took hers, and she told Neville she did not want to die but was not afraid, at which the hands disengaged.

    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 1226 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1226 delivery claims: 1965-12-4 doubtful; 1965-12-7 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.

    Reasoning The separate 12/7/65 dateline follows the WordPress banner and is supported by the lecture's own Tuesday-series schedule; the WordPress posted-at stamp is excluded and December 4 is doubtful.
