In 1933 his parents came to New York and begged him to come home to Barbados and join the family business; he refused, and then as he waved them off from the boat a sudden intense desire to go to Barbados came over him.

Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1928 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1928 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1971-6-4 at `possible`. All claims on the node: 1969-5-26 refuted; 1971-6-4 possible (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-05-26 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1928, 1969-5-26) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1971-6-4. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
