“Q. And you reached that judgment on the 29th day of November and you haven’t changed it, have you? A. Nothing has been presented to me since then to change the opinion. Q. Then you’re not about to. You’re 99 percent right and you’re not about to change your opinion, are you, Doc? A. I change my opinions when you present material to me to show that I am wrong and then I’ll change my opinion.”
