Decision: As an archivist, I must be careful. I will mention the birth dates provided or stick to the most frequent/supported if I can't reconcile, but the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported". Since there is a conflict, I should be cautious. However, usually, in these tasks, I should present the information available. I'll note the birth year discrepancy if necessary, or just pick one if I want to be smooth, but strict adherence to "verifiable facts" might mean acknowledging the sources. Actually, I'll just state he was born in Los Angeles.
