Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [546077] belong to telling lecture nids [1832]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1964 to before 1964-01-28.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1832 (certain delivery 1964-01-28); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1964`, 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 1964-01-28 on nid 1832 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
The witness passage belongs to lecture nid 1832, whose independently corroborated delivery date is 1964-01-28; this dates Neville's telling, not the earlier dinner or AA history.
