The day is derived from the telling ('a week ago' / 'this morning') in each, and the two disagree by three days, so neither is certain.

    Reasoning 'Bennie came to my home a week ago' told 1967-10-16 (lecture 1292, certain), so about 9 October 1967; matches 16243 (c. 1967-10-09).

    Reasoning Passage 536160 is a telling within lecture nid 1292; at this review the lecture's preferred delivery claim is exactly 1967-10-16 with certain confidence, so the event's telling date is inherited and therefore estimated rather than stated.
