A student at a family party rejects Neville's experiential claim

At a family party of fifteen the day before - all relatives of his wife - a college student asked Neville to explain his teaching, and grew enthusiastic until Neville claimed to be the central figure by experience, at which the young man mentally threw up his hands at what he took for blasphemy.

    Reasoning The family party happened 'Yesterday' relative to this lecture, which is dated 1968-12-16 by its source-document dateline. One day earlier is 1968-12-15. This replaces the existing yearless relative claim from the same passage with an absolute date, at probable confidence since it chains the delivery date's own probable confidence.
