    Why Existing field_told (1964-02-03) and field_date bound (before 1964) left untouched per append-only rule; both rest on a delivery claim (catalog #189) an earlier correction on this node found to be mismatched.
    Reasoning This event is Neville's own admission spoken from the platform, so the happening and the telling are one moment - the lecture's own delivery date. The node's chrome header names the year and course position ('1948 Lesson 3'), corroborating catalog #4's 1948-02-23 at year level; the lecture text itself independently supports a five-day 1948 Los Angeles course (per this node's processing notes). The competing 1964-02-03 delivery claim (catalog #189, doubtful) that the existing field_told/field_date claims rest on was already flagged elsewhere on this same node (v1.1/l1.4/c1) as a mismatched carrier that does not belong to this transcript. Day precision (23) rests on the single legacy catalog #4 row rather than an independent second witness, so confidence is held to probable rather than the certain the corpus gives the underlying claims.

    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [527396] belong to telling lecture nids [989]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    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 989 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 989 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1948-2-23 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1948-2-23 certain; 1964-2-3 refuted; 1948-??-?? certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1964-02-03 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).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.

    Reasoning || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 989, 1964-2-3) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1948-2-23. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
