    Why Supplements rather than replaces the existing between claim, which dates from before the exact delivery date was recovered.
    Reasoning 'A couple of weeks ago' is a vague interval with no second constraint to close it, so per convention it gives only a before-bound rather than an invented numeric width; the book's arrival and reading necessarily preceded the lecture's own certain, exact delivery date.
