Neville's mother took each of her sons aside separately and persuaded him privately that he was her favorite and must never let her down; only when he returned home after twelve years in America, over cocktails on the veranda, did the brothers discover she had told each of them the same story.

    Reasoning || v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900: year 1900 here is not a date. `corpus v1 / phase3b` emitted it as a placeholder for "unknown, sometime before the telling" whenever the speaker used a vague temporal phrase — this row's own source note is the phrase. The same sentinel was identified and converged on in run v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv. It carried confidence `probable`, which no evidence supported. Lowered to `doubtful`; an honest `before 1969-03-17` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 2047). Nothing deleted, no year invented.
  3. before 17 March 1969 bound
    Source bound from the telling lecture nid 2047 (1969-03-17)
    Reasoning The event is told in the past tense in nid 2047, delivered 1969-03-17 (that claim's confidence: certain, preferred), so it had happened by that date. This is the same premise phase4 L6a and L4.5 rest on, stated at the precision the evidence actually supports rather than as a fabricated year. It replaces nothing: the 1900 placeholder row remains, lowered, as the record of what phase3b did. `bound` is never `preferred`, so this does not change what the event displays.
