Neville tells of his old friend Abdullah, an Ethiopian-born Jew and strict vegetarian of over forty years who had never touched pork, to whom God said in a vision, 'If you will not eat the food that they place before you, why do you expect them to eat the food you place before them?' — and who then, as honoured guest at a banquet, was served a roast suckling pig with a sweet potato in its mouth and broke his diet on pork.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [544130] belong to telling lecture nids [1780]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 10 May 1963
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-05-10.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1780 (certain delivery 1963-05-10); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1963`, 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 1963-05-10 on nid 1780 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
