His friend Sharon, present at the lecture, told him that on reading a new edition of The Lost Books of the Bible and Forgotten Books of Eden she found recorded there her own experience at fourteen, when at the dinner table her mother offered her a glass of milk and time stood still, her parents and sister frozen; she fled to her bed in tears, and on turning the pages to escape the book she read the line from Ode 19 of the Odes of Solomon about a cup of milk offered and drunk.

The Man Within (nid 1796), telling 1796-4, told 1968-07-24
Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1796 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1796 delivery claims: 1968-7-24 doubtful; 1968-1-12 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node.

delivery claim d1 on lecture nid 1796 ("The Man Within"), chrome dateline '1/12/68' recovered from the pre-strip body
Why
Deliberate override of the higher-labelled catalog claim (d0); see reasoning. Flagging for another lane: hist_event:1079 (linked from d0's legacy note) likely needs its own title/date reconciled against this same conflict.
Reasoning
This lecture carries two conflicting delivery claims: [d0] 1968-07-24, certain/preferred, from Neville lectures catalog #749 (a legacy, unreviewed backfill); [d1] 1968-01-12, probable, from the transcript's own chrome dateline sitting at the head of the document, the corpus's standard dateline-then-lecture convention. Per the instructed override, a transcript/chrome-sourced claim is preferred over a catalogue-sourced one even when the catalogue claim is labelled certain -- and here the writing agent who filed d1 already flagged that the catalogue-linked historical event's own title, 'Man Within 1 12', appears to encode a January 12 date, suggesting the July 24 catalog entry is itself the error. The weekday test corroborates this independently: 1968-01-12 is a Friday (a normal Neville lecture night); 1968-07-24 is a Wednesday (rare in his pattern, 41 of 1,164 dated claims). Confidence kept at probable, matching d1's own declared confidence, per the inheritance rule -- not upgraded to certain despite the corroboration, since d1 is still the weaker-labelled of the two claims by the script's own confidence field.
