Why
This event's own field_date claim (J.C. Penney's actual death, 1971-02-12) dates the happening, not the telling; the two are correctly different dates here.
Reasoning
Passage 555583 is Neville directly noting that J.C. Penney, his first employer in America, died the past week leaving a fortune behind him. The lecture containing this passage, nid 2202, carries two consistent delivery claims narrowing to the same window: a coarser March-April 1971 range and a more precise between-bound, 1971-03-16 (Thomas Dewey's death) to 1971-04-10 (the day before Easter Sunday), both probable. No claim gives an exact day, so the telling is written as the same between range at the same probable confidence.
