Neville contrasts his post-1959 experiences with his earlier lectures

Neville notes that people who heard him lecture before 1959 do not know the experiences he has had since, so his present words may sound strange to them.

    Reasoning This event is the utterance itself -- a live contrast Neville draws for the audience in front of him between what people heard before 1959 and his experiences since -- so happening and telling are the same moment; the 1959 figure in the passage dates the boundary of his earlier teaching, not this event. Per the speech-act rule this gets field_date at the lecture's own date, which is fixed at certain by two independently agreeing certain claims (catalogue #535 and the chrome byline '4/11/69'). The existing field_told claim on this event is left standing beside this one rather than treated as a duplicate.
