    Source The Divine Body ¶2passage 528415 (lecture nid 1036), 'One just died here recently...His name is Bertrand Russell'; passage 528419 corroborates, 'Bertrand Russell, at the age of 97 when he died'
    Why No further precision than 'recently' after the death is available; the lecture also garbles Russell's 90th-birthday anecdote (actually May 1962) together with the death account, but the death reference is the dating anchor.
    Reasoning Bertrand Russell died 2 February 1970, historically documented; Neville treats it as recent news, dating delivery to shortly after that date. This matches the lecture's own already-established certain year-1970 delivery claim (d2, internal_or_header_evidence) and is inconsistent with both catalogue claims (1957, 1968-05-10), neither of which is disturbed here.

    Reasoning || v1.1/l7/propagate-node-refutation: lowered `certain` -> `doubtful` under A-121. THE CONTRADICTION: node 1036, the lecture this claim was copied to, holds the identical date 1957-??-?? as REFUTED, and records why — "Copied without semantic change from linked historical event 47. || v1.1/l1.3b/w1: The text twice names 1970 as present and treats Bertrand Russell death news as recent; lower the 1957 and 1968 claims and append a 1970 stated claim. || v1.1/l7/apply/c1: refuted by L7 adjudication (#2363), shape `catalogue_block_error`. ". A delivery date refuted on the lecture cannot stand as `certain` on the lecture event it was copied from. ⛔ Lowered only, never refuted: A-121's floor is `doubtful`, and nothing here is deleted — the date, its type, its source note and the prior confidence (certain) all survive, so this reverses from the ledger.
