Neville says he can bear witness to the truth of Blake's vision from his own experience, but that unlike Blake he can neither paint, carve nor engrave and must rely on words alone.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [549594] belong to telling lecture nids [1942]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1965 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1965 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1965 to before 1965-02-09.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1942 (certain delivery 1965-02-09); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1965`, 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 1965-02-09 on nid 1942 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 9 February 1965
bound
Reasoning
Passage 549594 explicitly says Neville can bear witness to Blake's vision and 'I've experienced it,' placing the experiential basis before this lecture. Node 1942's 1965-02-09 delivery is independently corroborated by matching catalogue and removed chrome dateline evidence, both certain. Thus before 1965-02-09 is a certain upper bound, not an exact occurrence date.
