Neville regrets changing Neville is risen in his manuscript

A learned friend — an advisor to professors at Columbia University — read his script and persuaded him to write “He is risen” instead of “Neville is risen”; Neville, thinking his lack of schooling meant the scholar knew better, agreed, and now calls it his mistake, unchanged through four or five printings.

    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [535182] belong to telling lecture nids [1262]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-02-24.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1262 (certain delivery 1967-02-24); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, 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 1967-02-24 on nid 1262 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 014)
    Reasoning Passage 535182 runs from the 1946 sea vision ('Neville is risen') straight to 'when I came to my story, a friend who read the script said...' and 'four or five printings'. That fits The Search, written after his 1946 return from Barbados (8051, 17878, 19335), not the 1966 book. He returned about May 1946 (6841) and published in 1946.
