    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [552644] belong to telling lecture nids [2061]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-12-02.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 2061 (certain delivery 1968-12-02); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, 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 1968-12-02 on nid 2061 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Reasoning Passage 548671 independently carries the anecdote in lecture node 1911. The node's direct chrome dateline fixes delivery at 1968-12-02 with certain confidence; because the telling date is inherited from the carrier rather than stated in the passage, its type is estimated.
