Neville refers in passing to his ordinary human loves - a child, his wife, his family and friends - as a contrast to the love he met in vision.
Date (happened)
before 1969
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [540931] belong to telling lecture nids [1487]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 10 October 1969
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1969 to before 1969-10-10.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1487 (certain delivery 1969-10-10); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1969`, 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 1969-10-10 on nid 1487 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before October 1969
bound · doubtful
Why
Beside, not replacing, the existing certain before-1969-10-10 row.
Reasoning
The existing certain 'before 1969-10-10' bound was set by L4.5 while the underlying delivery claim was still certain. It has since been demoted to doubtful (circular catalogue provenance) by v1.1/l7/demote-named, while the rival 1969-10-12 chrome claim was refuted outright. A derived bound cannot outrank the claim it rests on; this appends the bound at its now-correct doubtful ceiling.
Told / reported
10 October 1969
stated · doubtful
10 October 1969
estimated · doubtful
Reasoning
The existing certain told claim was derived before the lecture's catalogue delivery claim was demoted to doubtful for circular provenance; the rival 1969-10-12 chrome reading was separately refuted as a digit error. 1969-10-10 remains the best-supported day (it is a Friday, matching the documented lecture schedule), but the only surviving claim for it is doubtful, so a derived told claim cannot be certain. Appended at the correct ceiling.
