    Reasoning The stored 1930-1939 claim on this event dates Huxley's writing of Ends and Means ('back in the '30s when he wrote Ends and Means'), not the friendship or dinners the event describes, which the passage never dates on its own; the only genuine constraint the passage supports is that the acquaintance predates the telling, 1970-05-05.
