    Why Secretary reportedly said Abdullah planned to return to Ethiopia.
    Reasoning Circa 1957 is calculated only from the stated seven-year interval in a 1964 account; it is an estimated non-preferred claim.

    Source Who Are the Condemned ¶51passage 531524 (lecture nid 1148, 'Who Are the Condemned', told 1964-03-10): 'About seven years ago I met his secretary and she voiced that request'
    Reasoning This event is the secretary meeting, which the passage dates 'about seven years' before the certain 1964-03-10 telling, i.e. circa 1957 -- consistent with the two other non-preferred 1957 claims (d0, d2) already on the event. The currently preferred claim (d1, certain, 1956) instead reads the passage's PRECEDING clause, 'the last time I met Abdullah was about eight years ago,' which describes a different meeting (Neville's own last visit to Abdullah, not the secretary) and so dates a different event, not this one. I did not alter d1 per the append-only rule, but this claim, sourced directly from the primary passage with the correct clause, is the one that actually answers this event's question.
