The previous night Neville and his wife came home from a Mother's Day party at their daughter's home just before ten; his wife reminded him Muggeridge was on television, and they watched a nineteen-minute discussion between Malcolm Muggeridge and William F. Buckley on Christianity, with English students questioning them.
Date (happened)
12 May 1968
relative · probable · preferred
Why
The existing d1 field_date claim ('before 1965', possible, L6a envelope) is now stale: it assumed the lecture's own year was at most 1965, but the lecture's confirmed delivery date is 1968-05-13, so this event demonstrably falls in 1968, not before 1965. Not corrected here (append-only); flagged for the dating lane.
Reasoning
Passage 547170 has Neville say the Mother's Day party and the Muggeridge/Buckley broadcast were 'last night' relative to the telling. The lecture is confirmed dated 1968-05-13; the day before is 12 May 1968, which is independently Mother's Day 1968 (a Sunday), so the party and broadcast happened on that date.
-
before 1965
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [547170] belong to telling lecture nids [1860]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 1968
bound · possible
Why
Corrects the phase4 L6a envelope on this event from before 1965 to before 1968.
Reasoning
Envelope recompute, arithmetic only. The phase4 L6a row on this event states its own rule: each telling lecture contributes MAX of its non-refuted delivery years, and the envelope is the MIN across telling lectures. Recomputed live over lecture nid(s) 1860 that row cites, MAX(non-refuted field_delivery_year) gives 1968, not the 1965 the row carries — the bound was below its own stated rule and therefore UNSAFE: it asserted the event did not happen in 3 year(s) where it may sit. Same premise, same evidence, no re-reading and no re-judgement; only the maximum was taken correctly. The L6a row stands beside this one (append-only). Ruling: #2235 delta 1, architect 378.
Told / reported
13 May 1968
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Passage 547170 (in lecture nid 1860) is Neville recounting the Mother's Day party and the Muggeridge/Buckley television discussion from the night before -- this passage is the telling. The lecture's confirmed, most precise delivery claim dates it 1968-05-13 exact/probable, so the telling inherits that date and precision.
