Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 022)
Reasoning
Passage 539306: 'when I was a strict vegetarian for seven years... Abdullah told me years ago when I saw him eating all these things and I was not'. The vegetarian years ran to about 1934 (chronology 18772, 19863) and he met Abdullah in 1929-1931 (963, 962, 765), so the remark falls in 1929-1934.

bound
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1407 (1968-12-06)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1407, delivered 1968-12-06 (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.
c. 1900
stated · refuted
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 1968-12-06` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1407). 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.
