Having told this story at a small gathering in the city, three people objected that the man must have started with money or connections; Neville replies that he never asked the man for the facts, never saw his books, and believes the volunteered figure implicitly.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [551873] belong to telling lecture nids [2027]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1953 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1953 is the MIN across telling lectures.

estimated
Reasoning
Passages 551873–551875 contain Neville's present defense from the platform; the earlier small gathering supplies the objections, not the date of this utterance. The carrier lecture is authoritatively dated only to 1953, so the event can be fixed to that year and no finer precision.
