While shaving last Friday, Neville imagined telling his wife wonderful news about George, a friend in the city who was in debt and out of work, and three hours later George telephoned to say two good jobs had been offered him.

derived from the event's own title: "The George incident on April 9, 1954"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1954-04-09 (day precision, parsed as "month day year"). ⚠ 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.
