Neville says the experience came suddenly and unexpectedly to him and likewise to Bob, Benny and Christine.
Date (happened)

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537878] belong to telling lecture nids [1349]. 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 8 April 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-04-08.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1349 (certain delivery 1968-04-08); 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 1968-04-08 on nid 1349 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

bound · probable
Reasoning
Passage 537878 treats Neville's, Bob's, Benny's, and Christine's experiences as already having happened, so they precede the lecture's claimed 1968-04-08 delivery. That delivery date has only one legacy_unreviewed source in this packet, making the anchor the weakest link and limiting the bound to probable.
after 6 March 1968
bound · possible
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 019)
Reasoning
The event lumps Neville, Bob, Benny and Christine; Benny's David experience was 1968-03-06 (event 7066), so the composite is complete only after it.
