    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [552736] belong to telling lecture nids [2067]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1971 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1971 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Source The Law ¶32Passage states 'I do that here every week'; carrier lecture nid 2067's surviving certain date is 1959-11-20.
    Why Dated instance of a recurring weekly practice, not a claimed start date.
    Reasoning The event is an ongoing weekly act and the witness says Neville performs it 'here every week', making the telling itself a directly evidenced instance. Node 2067's surviving, preferred, certain delivery date is 1959-11-20; its 1971 date is refuted. The 1959-11-20 lecture therefore supplies an exact dated instance without claiming the practice began that day.

    Source The Lawnid 2067 surviving delivery claim after refutation. All claims: 1959-11-20 certain; 1965-2-12 refuted; 1971-3-5 refuted; 1959-11-20 certain (preferred)
    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 2067 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 2067 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1959-11-20 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1959-11-20 certain; 1965-2-12 refuted; 1971-3-5 refuted; 1959-11-20 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1971-03-05 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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 2067, 1971-3-5) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1959-11-20. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

1959-11-20 [exact/certain/final] The Law It is told us in the story of the fig tree. It did not bear for three years. One said, ‘Cut it down, and throw it away.’ But the keeper of the vineyard pleaded, ‘NO!’ Who is the tree? I am the tree; you are the tree. We bear or we do not. But the Keeper said he would dig around the tree and feed it ‘ or manure it, as we would say today ’ and see if it will not bear. Well I do that here every week and try to get the tree ‘ you ’ me to bear. 552736
