Neville points to Benny in the audience, notes how opposite they are in pigment, and says they are the same man because the same David called each of them Father.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537886] 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 537886 treats Neville's and Benny's meetings with David as completed before the lecture's claimed 1968-04-08 delivery. Because that anchor is supported here only by a lone legacy_unreviewed row, it is the weakest link and caps the before bound at probable.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 019)
Reasoning
Benny left his confirming letter at Neville's door on 1968-03-14 (event 7084), the earliest certain contact; the recognition is otherwise known only from the 1968-04-08 telling.
