A woman sees Neville give black umbrellas to her and Marta

A woman told Neville a vision in which she and Marta, at a military drill, were called forward by Neville in a long black robe who gave them each a black umbrella and spoke profound words neither understood, until Dorothy Dix entered and offered to explain; Neville reads the black as the incomprehensible divine silence and says the vision was prompted by a conversation the woman had with a friend after his last lecture about waiting thirty years.

    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 1362 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 1362 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1968-6-28 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1968-6-2 refuted; 1968-6-28 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 1: 1968-06-02 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.

    Reasoning || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1362, 1968-6-2) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1968-6-28. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
