Neville recounts being born from above and, five months later, encountering David, who stood before him and called him Father, ending all doubt about who he is.

estimated · probable · preferred
Why
Calculated relational date; the existing circa December 1959 claim remains alongside it.
Reasoning
The passage explicitly relates David's appearance to five months after Neville's birth from above; applying that relation to the corpus-established 1959-07-20 birth date yields 1959-12-06. Because the calendar date is calculated from a relative statement rather than stated here, it is estimated/probable.

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 1296 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 1296 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1967-10-27 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1967-10-27 certain; 1967-10-27 certain; 1969-10-18 refuted; 1967-10-27 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-10-18 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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 1296, 1969-10-18) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1967-10-27. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
