Retelling later in the same lecture: he tried repeatedly to love an invisible God more than his mother and could not, and thought of his father as the fairest man he ever met; only when he saw that father and mother stood for visible causation did he understand, and it never lessened his love for them.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [535433] belong to telling lecture nids [1270]. 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 31 March 1967
bound
Reasoning
Passage 535434 says Neville had already discovered the distinction between invisible and visible causation. The authoritative L7 adjudication establishes the containing lecture at 1967-03-31 certain from a direct dateline and rejects the old 1969 date, so the interpretation occurred before 1967-03-31.

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 1270 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 1270 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1967-3-31 at `doubtful`. All claims on the node: 1958-3-31 refuted; 1967-3-31 doubtful; 1967-3-31 certain (preferred); 1969-9-16 refuted. Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-09-16 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.

stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1270, 1969-9-16) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1967-3-31. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
