Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [547828] belong to telling lecture nids [1885]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1969 to before 1969-04-18.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1885 (certain delivery 1969-04-18); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1969`, 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 1969-04-18 on nid 1885 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
Lecture 1440's chrome byline is 4/1/69 (preferred, probable) and its 1969-04-18 delivery is now doubtful (see event 16912's own bound), so the statement was made by 1969-04-01.
