Neville recounts that when his father made his Will he was a thousand miles away, yet each child shared equally with no discrimination; and that his father would slap anyone, even his grown sons, who dared raise a question about him.
Date (happened)
before 6 December 1966
bound · probable · preferred
Why
Supersedes the phase4 L6a/envelope bound in precision only; both stand, append-only.
Reasoning
The father's-will event is recounted as already past at the moment of telling, so it cannot postdate the telling lecture's true delivery date. That date is now established at day precision (1966-12-06, certain/preferred) rather than the year-level 1966 the phase4 envelope used, so the existing 'before 1966' bound tightens to 'before 1966-12-06'. Held at probable rather than the source's own certain, because the logical link (event precedes its own telling) is still an inference layered on the source.
before 1965
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [543385] belong to telling lecture nids [1759]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 1966
bound · possible
Why
Corrects the phase4 L6a envelope on this event from before 1965 to before 1966.
Reasoning
Envelope recompute, arithmetic only. The phase4 L6a row on this event states its own rule: each telling lecture contributes MAX of its non-refuted delivery years, and the envelope is the MIN across telling lectures. Recomputed live over lecture nid(s) 1759 that row cites, MAX(non-refuted field_delivery_year) gives 1966, not the 1965 the row carries — the bound was below its own stated rule and therefore UNSAFE: it asserted the event did not happen in 1 year(s) where it may sit. Same premise, same evidence, no re-reading and no re-judgement; only the maximum was taken correctly. The L6a row stands beside this one (append-only). Ruling: #2235 delta 1, architect 378.
before 1969
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [543904] belong to telling lecture nids [1773]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.

estimated
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 1759 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 1759 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1966-12-6 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1965-2-2 refuted; 1966-11-30 refuted; 1966-12-1 refuted; 1966-12-6 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1965-02-02 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.
c. 1969
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Passage 543904 is one long closing paragraph of the lecture in which Neville tells the will/prodigal-son story verbatim ('My father happened to be a perfect man... So his prodigal son, who went thousands of miles away, got just as much as any other member of ten. So when the Will was read Neville was not only in it but up to the hilt.'). The owning lecture nid 1773 has a single delivery claim, circa 1969 stated/probable, with no conflicting claim to weigh. The telling inherits that same precision and confidence unchanged.
2 February 1965
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1759, 1965-2-2) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1966-12-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
