lecture nid=1816 carries THREE conflicting delivery claims: d0 1968 circa/probable and d1 1968-12 exact/probable (both from Neville twice saying Verne's 1865 novel was written '103 years ago'), versus d2 1969-01-17 exact/probable, state=confirmed (scraped chrome dateline '1/17/69'). d2's own WHY argues the 103-years figure is a repeated, quoted round number from contemporary Verne/Apollo-8 news coverage rather than fresh arithmetic, and that a chrome dateline proven reliable elsewhere in this corpus outweighs it -- explicitly lowering d0/d1 to doubtful without editing either row.
