Neville recalls advice his old friend Abdullah once gave him: when someone tries to make himself important at your expense, picture him performing his normal, natural functions and he is reduced to his proper level.

before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537474] belong to telling lecture nids [1336]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 11 March 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-03-11.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1336 (certain delivery 1968-03-11); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1968-03-11 on nid 1336 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
