As a boy in Barbados Neville rode a donkey bareback on the beach; it could stop dead at full gallop and throw him twenty feet, and he would wash the blood off in the sea hoping his mother would not see.

Reasoning
Passage 526253: 'You're kids, you didn't care', hoping his mother would not see. Frame: he grew up in Barbados until 1922-09 (event 20457), so the memory falls in boyhood, roughly age seven to seventeen.

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [526253] belong to telling lecture nids [15]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1972 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1972 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 3 March 1972
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1972 to before 1972-03-03.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 15 (certain delivery 1972-03-03); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1972`, 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 1972-03-03 on nid 15 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
