Warden's conflicting datings of when he first read Neville: when Neville had only one published book (c.1939-41 if literal); 'back into the '50s'; and 'fifty years ago' — his engagement with the written work began early and long preceded understanding. [Retold 4 times across the interviews.] [Date evidence: Warden says Neville had only one published book at the time he first read him — if literal, c.1939-1941 (between At Your Command and the second book); contradicts his other datings.]

derived from the event's own title: "Warden's conflicting datings of when he first read Neville: when Neville had only one published book (c.1939-41 if literal); 'back into the '50s'; and 'fifty ye"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1939 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.
Verbatim (witness's words)
After having a course with Neville, it was so obvious. You know, I mean, it was embarrassingly obvious that it was always right. Everything you want is already right with you. Choose this day and you are that. I heard that over and over and over, because I played Neville’s tapes nightly.
