Neville recounts a letter from his friend Clare, who told a plant worker named Randy about Neville's teaching for two years; after Randy died under an operation, Clare heard Randy's voice within him saying 'Clare, you are right.'

bound · probable
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1317 (1967-04-28)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1317, delivered 1967-04-28 (that claim's confidence: probable, preferred), so it had happened by that date. This is the same premise phase4 L6a and L4.5 rest on, stated at the precision the evidence actually supports rather than as a fabricated year. It replaces nothing: the 1900 placeholder row remains, lowered, as the record of what phase3b did. `bound` is never `preferred`, so this does not change what the event displays.
before 1900
bound · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 015): the 1900..1999 'before' row is a phase-3b placeholder sentinel meaning 'sometime before the telling'; Neville was born in 1905 and no source states it. The honest 'before 1967-04-28' bound stands beside it.
Reasoning
v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv: type stated -> bound. Convergence of the w1 pass, which split on this exact shape — 25 rows with the 1900 sentinel year and a vague relative note were judged `stated` while 5 identical rows were judged `bound`. The 1900 here is a placeholder meaning "unknown, sometime before the telling", not a date any source stated; Neville was born in 1905, so "before 1900" is not a coherent bound on his own recollections. A claim whose year is that sentinel cannot be `stated`. Note the year itself remains wrong and is out of scope for L0.5, which may touch only `type` and `preferred` — reported separately. Source note as recorded: ""this goes back now quite a few years…but I only got the letter this week", told in Closing Summary 1967 (nid 1317)" || v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900: year 1900 here is not a date. `corpus v1 / phase3b` emitted it as a placeholder for "unknown, sometime before the telling" whenever the speaker used a vague temporal phrase — this row's own source note is the phrase. The same sentinel was identified and converged on in run v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv. It carried confidence `probable`, which no evidence supported. Lowered to `doubtful`; an honest `before 1967-04-28` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1317). Nothing deleted, no year invented.

28 December 1967
stated · doubtful
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.
28 April 1967
estimated · probable
Why
Supersedes in substance, not storage, earlier told rows dated 1967-12-28.
Reasoning
The telling occurs in nid 1317. Its preferred chrome claim is 1967-04-28 probable, whereas the 1967-12-28 catalogue claim is doubtful; the event therefore inherits 04-28 at probable confidence and as an estimated told claim.
