His mother persuaded him as a child, almost to the point of frightening him, that priests were the wisest men in the world; when he grew up and the visions began he found them the most stupid people he had ever met. He also notes that his friend was high church Episcopal while he himself was low church Episcopal.

qualifying source passages 552404; telling lecture nids 2051
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [552404] belong to telling lecture nids [2051]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.

Source
telling lecture nid 2051, certain delivery 1968-06-28
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-06-28.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 2051 (certain delivery 1968-06-28); 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 1968-06-28 on nid 2051 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1362 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1362 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1968-6-28 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1968-6-2 refuted; 1968-6-28 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1968-06-02 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1362, 1968-6-2) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1968-6-28. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
