    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 047)
    Reasoning Being taught Bible stories by his mother as secular history belongs to his Barbados childhood (frame residence 1905-1922), regardless of the 1972 telling (node 1980, repointed from retired duplicate 2126).

Told / reported

  2. 1972 estimated · probable
    Reasoning Passage 553493 clearly tells this event in lecture node 2126. The delivery year 1972 is supported by a probable catalogue claim and independently corroborated at lower confidence by the stripped bare-year chrome header; probable is therefore the honest cap. A node-derived told claim is estimated, never stated.
  3. 1972 estimated · probable
    Source God's Son ¶18passage 550729 (lecture nid 1980 'God's Son'), delivery claim d1 stated exact year 1972/probable (confirmed chrome dateline sharpening the post-moon-landing bound)
    Reasoning Passage 550729 is Neville directly stating he was born and raised a Christian, taught by his mother and in school. The lecture containing this passage, nid 1980, carries two consistent delivery claims: a lower bound (after 20 July 1969, from the moon-landing reference) and a confirmed stated year 1972 (probable, chrome dateline, no month/day given) sharpening it. The telling inherits the more precise claim's year and its probable confidence, at the same year-only precision -- no month or day is invented.
