Reasoning
Passage 551267 is Neville narrating his own Syracuse roast-beef experience directly ('I ordered the most wonderful roast beef... I was in Syracuse, New York... as I put my knife into it, I actually felt I was cutting the animal alive'). The lecture containing this passage, nid 2001, carries only one delivery claim, a lower bound (after 1965, probable, from Churchill's January 1965 death being referenced as past) with no upper anchor beyond Neville's general lecturing years. No claim gives an exact day or an upper bound, so the telling is written as the same open after-1965 bound at the same probable confidence rather than an invented date.
