Neville begins lecturing in 1938

Date (happened)

  1. 1938 stated · probable · preferred
    Source derived from the event's own title: "Neville begins lecturing in 1938"
    Reasoning The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1938 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ 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.
  2. 2 February 1938 stated
    Source David Christ ¶0Passage 556016: 'I started on the second day of February, 1938.'
    Why Passage-supported refinement of the title-derived year claim.
    Reasoning Neville directly and unambiguously states the exact date on which he began lecturing.
  3. 2 February 1938 stated
    Source Strong Imagination ¶36passage 549321 (lecture nid 1929), 'I started on the second day of February 1938, and anyone who can go back far enough will know I have never once asked for one nickel'
    Reasoning Neville states his own biographical fact directly and exactly: the start date of his self-supporting lecture career. This is a stated fact about his own life, not a story dated relative to something else.

Told / reported
  1. 1972 estimated
    Source David ChristLecture node 3953, David Christ; existing certain delivery year 1972.
    Reasoning The event is recounted in node 3953, whose certain delivery evidence fixes 1972 but does not establish a specific month or day.
  2. between 22 November 1971 and 6 December 1971 bound · probable
    Source Strong Imaginationdelivery bound on lecture nid 1929 (d2, confirmed state)
    Reasoning The lecture (nid 1929) in which he tells this is bounded 1971-11-22..1971-12-06 by the Joseph C. Wilson death/Time-magazine internal evidence (confirmed state, no chrome dateline exists). No delivery claim on this lecture reaches certain, so the told confidence is capped at the lecture's own best (probable).
