Neville took care of the funerals of two of the three friends he was serving in the dream, many years earlier in New York City, and has not heard from the third for a very long time.
Date (happened)
between September 1922 and April 1957
unresolved
before 1 December 1969
bound
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1506 (1969-12-01)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1506, delivered 1969-12-01 (that claim's confidence: certain, preferred), so it had happened by that date. This is the same premise phase4 L6a and L4.5 rest on, stated at the precision the evidence actually supports rather than as a fabricated year. It replaces nothing: the 1900 placeholder row remains, lowered, as the record of what phase3b did. `bound` is never `preferred`, so this does not change what the event displays.

Reasoning
Passage 541398: 'I took care of the funeral of two of them many years ago in New York City.' He lived in New York City from Sept 1922 to April 1957 (residence 20465); 'many years ago' told in 1969 fits the earlier part.
c. 1900
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900: year 1900 here is not a date. `corpus v1 / phase3b` emitted it as a placeholder for "unknown, sometime before the telling" whenever the speaker used a vague temporal phrase — this row's own source note is the phrase. The same sentinel was identified and converged on in run v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv. It carried confidence `probable`, which no evidence supported. Lowered to `doubtful`; an honest `before 1969-12-01` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1506). Nothing deleted, no year invented. || v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900-refute: REFUTED. This event involves Neville himself and he was born 1905-02-19 (event 950 delta 9, `certain` + `preferred`), so 1900 is not merely unsupported — it is impossible. The event now displays no date, which is the honest state: the `before` bound appended by v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900 remains and is what is actually known. Row kept, not deleted.
