    Source Unless I Go Awaydelivery claim d1 on lecture nid 2271 -- exact-year/certain, from the birth-from-above (20 July 1959) referenced as three years earlier; consistent with the lecture's other, coarser circa-1962 claim
    Reasoning Passage 555948 is Neville himself recounting, in first person, consulting psychiatrists or psychoanalysts about the sunflower-and-rat vision and finding their interpretations entirely wrong; this is the telling. The lecture containing it, nid 2271, is dated to the year 1962 by its more precise, certain delivery claim, consistent with the lecture's coarser circa-1962 claim. No month or day evidence exists for this ASR-derived lecture, so the telling inherits the exact-year, no-month/day precision at certain confidence.
