  1. 1944 conclusion
    Why dc1-agreement-20261004, pm-actor-551 (PM 8702)
    Reasoning All 3 claims agree on 1944: derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1944 New York Bible class"; passage:531795; passage:531795.
  2. 1944 stated · preferred
    Source They Did Not Die ¶8passage 531795, 'Back in 1944, at a Bible class in New York City'
    Reasoning Neville directly places this Bible-class occurrence in 1944; the year dates the class itself rather than the 1964 lecture in which he recounts it.
  3. 1944 stated · probable
    Source derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1944 New York Bible class"
    Reasoning The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1944 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

    Source They Did Not Die ¶8
    Reasoning Passage 531795 opens 'Back in 1944, at a Bible class in New York City, a lady who lived with her mother...' -- Neville's own direct, unhedged statement of the year, read by me directly in the passage text, not taken from an npr paraphrase or from the event's title. This upgrades the event's existing title-derived claim (probable, no cited source) to a properly witnessed claim; it is not circular, because the citation here is the passage text itself, not the title or the title-derived claim, even though both likely trace to the same underlying passage. No month or day is given anywhere in the passage for the 1944 class -- only 'Monday night', a weekday, not a calendar date -- so precision stays at year only, matching what the text actually supports. Confidence probable rather than certain: this is Neville's own single, uncorroborated recollection stated twenty years after the fact, with no second, independent source in this packet naming 1944.

  1. 28 April 1964 conclusion
    Why dc1-agreement-20261004, pm-actor-551 (PM 8702)
    Reasoning 1 claim, no conflict: 1964-04-28 (node:1162).
  2. 28 April 1964 estimated
    Source They Did Not Die
    Reasoning Passages 531795-531796 show Neville narrating this 1944 story live within lecture nid=1162 ('They Did Not Die'). The dates claim above (1944) is a fact stated directly in the passage and never touches this lecture's own delivery date as its anchor, so per the told/dates overlap rule a told claim is additive here. The lecture's delivery date is doubly corroborated by independent sources: legacy catalog #226 (1964-04-28, certain) and a chrome-harvested transcript-head dateline reading 'They Did Not Die 4/28/64' (certain, preferred), agreeing exactly, so certain is warranted for when this story was told. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/6000-6999-b3, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 1162, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).
