Neville develops an ethical code through childhood discipline

He recalls being conditioned in the cradle - spanked by his mother for certain things and criticised for others - until he built his own ethical code.

    Why d0/d1 (1968, Verne-arithmetic) were not used as they are the claims the packet's own d2 note demotes to doubtful.
    Reasoning The event is recounted by Neville in this lecture, not the happening itself, so the telling date is the lecture's delivery date. The lecture's best current delivery claim is the recovered chrome dateline 1969-01-17 (stated/probable), which the packet's own processing explicitly prefers over and uses to lower the earlier 1968 Verne-arithmetic claims (d0, d1) to doubtful; a told claim derived from it cannot exceed probable.
