Neville relays Eddie's story as it was told to the letter-writer and passed on to him: Eddie, fifty-four, orphaned in the '30s, a failed suicide put in an asylum, living in a tent and prospecting for gold, heard a voice in the empty desert say 'I AM' and 'Do not come up here, I AM', climbed the hill anyway and found an uncoiled four-foot rattler staring at him, and ran.
Date (happened)
3 March 1964
estimated · probable · preferred
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 034)
Reasoning
'Last Tuesday' relative to the corrected Friday 1964-03-06 delivery of the carrier lecture (nid 1535/2153) yields Tuesday 1964-03-03.

"last Tuesday", told in Our Real Beliefs (nid 2153)
29 February 1972
stated · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 034): Computed as the Tuesday before nid 1535's superseded catalogue delivery date 1972-03-06; this packet's event 671 shows that lecture was actually delivered 1964-03-06.
Told
6 March 1964
estimated · probable
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 1535 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 1535 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1964-3-6 at `probable`. All claims on the node: 1972-3-6 refuted; 1972-3-6 refuted; 1964-3-6 probable (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1972-03-06 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`) | delta 1: 1972-03-06 at `probable` (run `v1.1/l4/ceiling/c2`). 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.

Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1535, 1972-3-6) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1964-3-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

stated · refuted
Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1535 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1535 delivery claims: 1972-3-6 doubtful; 1972-3-6 doubtful; 1964-3-6 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node. || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1535, 1972-3-6) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1964-3-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
