    Why pm-actor-525: Told in two different lectures, 1290 (13 Oct 1967) and 1292 (16 Oct 1967). The day is derived from the telling ('a week ago' / 'this morning') in each, and the two disagree by three days, so neither is certain.

    Reasoning He places the reading 'this morning', the same day as the lecture; the lecture's delivery date (1967-10-13) is independently corroborated, so the reading is fixed to the same day at high confidence.
