Neville recalls avoiding reptile houses at the zoo

Neville says he has never liked reptiles and avoids the reptile house when he goes to the zoo, which makes it strange to him that he himself rose as a serpent.
Date (happened)
before 25 March 1968
unresolved
  1. before 25 March 1968 bound
    Source bound from the telling lecture nid 1343 (1968-03-25)
    Reasoning The event is told in the past tense in nid 1343, delivered 1968-03-25 (that claim's confidence: certain, 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.
  2. between 1900 and 1968 stated · refuted
    Source The Serpent ¶18"years ago", told in The Serpent (nid 1343)
    Reasoning || 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 1968-03-25` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1343). Nothing deleted, no year invented. || v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900-refute: REFUTED. This event involves Neville himself and he was born 1905-02-19 (event 950 delta 9, `certain` + `preferred`), so 1900 is not merely unsupported — it is impossible. The event now displays no date, which is the honest state: the `before` bound appended by v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900 remains and is what is actually known. Row kept, not deleted.
