derived from the event's own title: "Neville receives four student letters used in his December 28, 1967 lecture"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1967-12-28 (day precision, parsed as "month day year"). ⚠ 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.

estimated · probable
Reasoning
The lecture's better-supported delivery date is 1967-04-28 (chrome dateline, probable, preferred), not the doubtful December catalogue claim; the lecture's own opening ('closing tonight...back in September') is spring-recess language that corroborates April over December. 1967-04-28 is a Friday. Using the settled 'this week' convention (Monday through the telling day), the letters that 'came this week' arrived between Monday 1967-04-24 and Friday 1967-04-28. Confidence capped at probable, inherited from the delivery claim it is derived from.

Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1317 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1317 delivery claims: 1967-12-28 doubtful; 1967-4-28 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node.
