stated · probable · preferred
Why
Prior npr rows 23528 and 59586 already identified this same fact as unresolved; no matching lecture record is required to file the date.
Reasoning
Neville states the date directly in his own words, matching the event's title exactly; this is read straight off the source, not derived from the lecture's own delivery date (which is 19 years later). Confidence held to probable rather than certain because it is a specific recollection given nearly two decades after the fact, and is corroborated only loosely (same 1945/first-week-of-May schedule) by a second, independent telling in passage 527621.
Told / reported
13 March 1953
estimated · probable
Reasoning
This is the earlier of the two tellings of the New York schedule story; the telling date is inherited from the lecture's delivery claim.
20 February 1964
estimated · probable
Reasoning
This is the later, more explicit telling that names the exact date; the telling date is inherited from the lecture's probable delivery claim.
