He received notice that his friend and physician Randy had died; in 1952, while Neville recuperated in hospital from a serious operation, Randy saw his Bible, questioned his interest in it, and heard Neville explain the Esau and Jacob story as his method - which Randy did not consider religion, religion for him being an hour in church each Sunday.

delivery claim d1 on lecture nid 2187 'I Am In You'
Reasoning
The lecture has 2 delivery claims and both agree on 1968-09-30 at certain-to-probable confidence, from independent source classes: d0 (an editorial dateline reading, probable) and d1 (preferred=1, a separately recovered site chrome byline, certain), explicitly noted as an independent witness for a date that previously rested on only the one source line. I take the certain, corroborated value.

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 1381 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 1381 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1968-9-30 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1968-9-30 certain; 1969-3-19 refuted; 1968-9-30 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-03-19 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.

stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1381, 1969-3-19) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1968-9-30. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
